Vinous (91)Good full, deep red. Slightly reduced but nuanced aromas of currant, black raspberry, violet, licorice and sassafras. At once sweet and savory, with strong supporting structure to the chewy dark berry and spice flavors. A bit youthfully musclebound today but this very young wine possesses the energy and depth to reward patience. |

Vinous (91-93)(all Mazoyères, from vines planted in the mid-1950s): Saturated dark red. Enticing perfume of black fruits, rose petal and Asian spices. Packed with dark fruits and spices but distinctly muscular and backward in the early going. This highly concentrated wine finishes with a note of licorice and powerful tannic spine. |

Vinous (90-92)(vinified with 60% whole clusters): Bright, dark red. Restrained aromas of black cherry and licorice show a slightly medicinal aspect. Fatter than the premier crus but less showy today, conveying an impression of medicinal reserve and little easy early sweetness. This rather backward wine finishes with plush, palate-saturating tannins and a strong repeating licorice quality, but some emerging dryness limited my enthusiasm. |

Vinous (90+)Bright medium red. Reticent but aromatic nose combines red berries, burnt orange, minerals, flowers, cardamom and star anise. Enters silky and sweet but ultimately displays less depth and concentration than the captivating nose suggests. Doesn't quite deliver in the middle palate but finishes with good sneaky length and harmonious tannins. Will this expand with time in bottle? |

Vinous (94)Deep red, the least ruby of these 2013s but still bright and dark. A hint of yeasty reduction to the aromas of musky black raspberry, dark chocolate and spicy underbrush. A wine of outstanding complexity and energy, with its dark berry fruit complicated by notes of iron and earth. Less thick than the Clos Saint-Denis but juicier. Finishes very long, with suave, seamless tannins. |

Vinous (94)Bright, moderately saturated medium red. A touch of reduction to the pure but withdrawn aromas and flavors of wild strawberry, flowers and spices. Bigger, richer and sweeter than the Clos Saint-Denis, showing a captivating sappy ripeness and serious concentration. The wine's rocky minerality really clamps down on the finish, with the horizontal, integrated tannins spreading out to saturate the mouth and front teeth. Quite powerful but an infant today, with all the elements for long-term aging. |
