Tasting Notes
- The wine is lively, well balanced and full of freshness in the attack, with the return of the rich, very ripe black fruit notes, present yet delicate tannin, and a touch of black pepper which makes this a wine with great future promise

History
- Whilst 2013 was a great vintage for the whites, this was less generally evident for Bordeaux reds. Despite low yields, BROWN red 2013 has light tannins and a smoky bouquet typical of Cabernet Sauvignon (the main variety of the blend) grown in gravel soils. This is a fresh wine with a delicately fruity aromatic expression.
Regional Information
