Château Haut Barrail – 2013 – Médoc Cru Bourgeois

Medium towards deep ruby-red colour. Very youthful on the nose. It is displaying mainly red fruity notes; plum, red currant. Some herbal and leafy notes and a slight hint of oak in the background. Palate is youthful, still restrained with a quite high presence of tannin. Fresh acidity, and youthful red fruit such as quite acid fruit; like red currant, sour cherry, cranberry. High level of freshness, high acidity. Quite long finish. I think this is a wine that is balanced, just a bit youthful. It should deserve another one to two years of aging. I just think the quality of tannin at the end, they are ripe just youthful and present. So it should develop quite well.
