First great cellar sampling of the 2013 vintage wines

The 2013 wines don’t jump off the charts for any one particular measurement, but instead demonstrate tremendous structure and expressiveness, coupled with lush, nuanced fruit and an air of sophistication. 2013 may, in retrospect, someday be counted among the great vintages. All we can say for sure right now: These wines will be tremendous even while still quite young, but will also reward those willing to lay them down for aging.
