Seasonal conditions: a year of great satisfaction for the estate, warm and wet with an average temperature of 13.7°C with the highest temperatures during the latter half of the season. Rainfall surpassed 1,000mm with heavy rain in May, June and October. Harvest was later than usual.
A transparent and bright ruby color. The bouquet is different from the other vintages thanks to a more distinct vegetal and balsamic component with sensations of medicinal herbs, fern and juniper. These are followed by hints of spice and fruit, darker and less sweet than usual, along with an elegant nuance of iron and graphite. The mouthfeel is consistent and sinuous, juicy with fluid tannins and a pleasing, long and saline finish. A long aftertaste of currant, black tea and herbs. An unusual version, more fine and less muscular Lagrein but one that will rival 2011 in regard to elegance.
