A total stunner. Intensely aromatic and super expressive, the 2013 Maya has never been so finessed. Dazzling.

A baby. Don't even touch for five more years. However, this is serious wine and will be a Maya for the ages. Kudos Andy.

Elegant for the vintage. Would love to try the big brother in the same vintage.

Blackberry pie with a chocolate nutty crust. Tannins are still too grippy, therefore I recommend hiding this bottle for another four to six years. Going to be awwwwesome!

Way too young! After double decanting and sitting for an hour, the fruit started to surface. Petroleum and leather on the initial nose, super tight and grippy tannins. The fruit does surface, a bouquet of dark berries, bakers chocolate and structure. Sit on this for another decade.

One of the best vintage in Dalla Valle Maya history. Still very young at 8 years.

Only the 1992 competes with the 2013 Maya absolutely delicious.
