"Two thousand thirteen is a serious vintage," according to Guillaume Tardy. "It's always better to have a slightly underripe than a slightly overripe harvest, " he went on. "We were lucky that the tannins were ripe. The wines have freshness and acidity, and we had to avoid too much extraction for fear of getting harshness and vegetal tastes." He added that he finds the 2013 tannins suppler than those of 2014, adding that "everyone waited more than 100 days in 2013; the phenolic maturity came even if alcohol levels are not high." Tardy's 2013s strike me as thicker than his 2014s without being heavy.
