Château La Cabanne, Pomerol, Bordeaux, 2013

Briary fruit on the nose and palate. Dry extract. Fresh but chewy finish.

Bright cherry red in colour, this is sappy and cheerful and carefully extracted, without a trace of bitter tannins. Fairly light in structure, with the fruits majoring on the strawberry and soft red cherries but there is nuance and gentle grilled almonds to add depth. Plenty to enjoy, but not one to age as long as many here. 55% new oak
