Vintage character: Coulure, mildew, then rain during the harvest: a light vintage, ready to drink.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Pauillac. An estate can depart from it sharply, in frost or hail years, where two neighbours did not make the same vintage. What this particular wine actually gave is on its technical sheet and in the scores above.
Tasting
Château Pibran 2013 shows an intense color, very characteristic of the cru. The nose evokes nuances of blackcurrant and violet. The palate is structured, dense, with silky tannins. This is a full-bodied Pauillac characterized by accomplished fruit. A wine for cellaring like its best predecessors, it respects the style of the vintage while remaining delicate.
