2013. A trusted friend assures me this has nothing on the 2011. I still like it though. The savory herbal twang I expect from Trousseau is there, and it cannot be construed as medium bodied; but there is a round, caramelized and slightly candied fruit character to freshness and tactile attack of the red fruit in the midpalate before the finish clamps down with a pleasant green bite. Hard to find outside Portugal.
