Next up was the 2013. Purplish core with ruby red edges. Tons of dark fruits, creme de cassis and baking spices on the nose. Lovely and thick. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied like the 2012 La Amante. Very tight too that started with just red cherries. On day two and three it opened up with an overload of dark fruits, cinnamon and nutmeg. Super extracted and thick. Long finish that was slightly dry too. Great acidity and slightly more approachable and open than the 2012. Just like the La Amante, it still held together on day four. Definitely a treat and drinks above its price point. Drink till 2028.
