Seasonal conditions: a hot and wet year with a relatively high average temperature of 13.5°C due to higher temperatures in the middle part of the year. Although the season began dry, it became a rainy year (363mm).
A lively, ruby color with purple reflections. The pleasing aroma is not particularly broad and has notes of ripe fruit and flowers, sensations of strawberry syrup and hints of vanilla. The full mouthfeel is decidedly more compact ad vertical than the previous vintage and still very fresh. The tannins are rich and nicely formed, pleasingly diluted in a juicy and very saline finish. The aftertaste has hints of black tea and red fruit. More simple and subtle than the 2011 but still pleasing and drinkable.
