Vergelegen, V Vintage:2013 but no such luck

but no such luck

The palate is medium to full-bodied with gorgeous plush tannins and balancing freshness supporting the boldly spicy black fruit preserves

There is a lovely sense of energy to the delineated medium weight flavors that exhibit more evident minerality that is particularly apparent on the mildly austere finale where a hint of bitter cherry appears

and it shows more of an emphasis on tannin than fruit

In 2016 this excellent effort is more Nuits than Vosne in style

Vergelegen, V Vintage:2013 but no such luckA blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% each of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot, the 2013 V starts with focused red and black fruits on the nose with integrated oak. The palate shows control and balance with rusticity. The finish is tight and reminiscent of a Super Tuscan with a full bodied expression that will age for decades.
