Tasting through the 2013 Vintage

With so many wines and so little time I was still able to to a good tasting selection for this post. See below for my Top 4 White and Top 4 Red Best Wines of the tasting.

It was generally obvious that the difficult year that was handed to the Bordeaux Chateaus produced many wines that were light boded, fruit deficient, and lacked the expected depth of a Bordeaux wine amongst the reds.

The Bordeaux white wines were all good to great.

Here are my top 4 White and 4 Red wines from this tasting.

2013 White Bordeaux Wines

1) Chateau Fieuzal

2) Chateau Carbonnieux

3) Chateau Larrivet Haut-Brion

4) Chateau Doisy Daéne

2013 Red Bordeaux Wines

1) Chateau Langoa Barton

2) Chateau Rauzan-Segla

3) Chateau Troplong Mondot

4)Chateau La Dominique
