In magnum. Pretty concentrated for arcangeli, but nicely balanced and quite good. A little oak here that has integrated into concentrated and pure fruit notes. It is interesting to compare this to the 17 which we let decant for an hour before touching. Some of the characteristic notes of Santa Cruz are lost in the 13 possibly because of some oak. Once again this is rated after a night of drinking so some irregularities may occur.

Definitely not a cocktail wine, dried berries, great acidity, aromatic, lingering finish
