Great producer from top to bottom. Bold fruit, nice tarry backdrop, balanced medium plus palate with a lightly spiced finish.

Varietals: 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Petit Verdot, and 13% Malbec.
Color: Crimson red.
Nose/Smell: Dark fruits, such as a little cassis and dark cherries.
Palate/Taste: Some cassis notes and other dark fruits. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and moderate body. Moderate finish that is quite furry.
Opinion: Needs some time to allow the petit verdot to integrate more fully. Could increase in score but an 88 for now.

Clean and warm, soft on the palate with a wet aftertaste. Pairs well with salty firm cheese.

Somewhat watery, and a bit bitter. I liked it, but I think 2013 might be a bit young yet.
