The 2013 Iron Syrah has a roundness and softness on the nose that almost belies its complexity - red berry fruit

The 2012 is neither the biggest nor most complex Pichon Lalande

tangy and energetic middle weight plus flavors that offer a lovely sense of precision and excellent length

but I expected more in a vintage with this pedigree

fresh and ultra pure essence of red berry fruit nose is nuanced by wet stone and herbal hints and leads to detailed and equally stony middle weight flavors that are still quite primary and supported by a firm but ripe acid spine and fine length
