The 2013 Ferrière feels rather green on the nose, rather ephemeral and simplistic. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, masculine and conservative, rather austere perhaps, although like the Haut-Bages-Liberal it recovers towards the spicy, saline finish. Sure, it is a little stolid for a Margaux but it retains respectable focus and depth, perhaps a 2013 that will repay a couple more years in bottle.
