Tasting notes
Cellar flavours throughout here – sweet spices, coffee grounds, hints of cocoa, and a bit of a caramelised note – disperse in a light finish. There is less structure and less concentration than expected from the vintage, leaving a bit of a watery experience on the close. (ECB)

A huge, dense wine, the 2013 Cinq Cepages possesses tremendous richness and concentration. Inky blue and purplish fruit, crème de cassis, gravel, graphite and dark spices give the Cinq Cepages much of its flamboyant, extroverted personality. (AG)
Dense ruby/purple with a restrained but promising bouquet of cassis,tobacco leaf,subtle oak,this full-bodied wine is very youthful,dense,and extremely promising. Always one the winery's classics this should be at its best between 2018 and 2035.
