The 2013 Le Bernardine is a spectacular showing in this vintage. This offers a wonderful lovely mix of fresh and savory, with aromas and flavors of roasted plum, raspberry, white pepper, coffee, damp earth and a savory edge which all works extremely well together. It continues to impress with its beautiful round, seamless texture and lovely balance though the soft velvety finish. This is already showing quite well and should be at its best over the next decade. (Best 2016-2025) - September, 2015 (JD)
