At nine years of age, this is likely at or nearing the apex of its drinkability, the fill level, label, foil and cork were in perfect condition.
This was a outstanding representation of the 2013 vintage. It showed deep garnet color with purple sprites, medium bodied, rich full complex but well balanced and integrated black cherry, strawberry, red and black fruits, with notes of spice, tobacco, cedar, sandalwood, and balsamic, turning to a smooth polished finish of round fine-grained delicate tannins. https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2022/01/chateau-la-nerthe-cdp-2013.html

Opened up after 3 hours in the carafe. An elegant and well-balanced CdP. Had it for classic porter steak with mashed potatoes and red currant jelly. This vintage needs at least 3-4 more years in the cellar to bloom completely.

5th of 6 and by far the best. Classic CdP flavours and well balanced.
Wish I'd been more patient with 1-4

Toujours riche, mais équilibré. Prêt à boire mais sans urgence
