Loved the 12. Slight dip in the 13. Tried again tonight after 10 months. Still a stellar tinto. Color, body, nose, pretty pitch perfect for me. It's got that bitter chocolate front with a suggestion of a porto without the sugar. Some old strawberry, not Twizzlers. All good. What detracts is the middle not being round and more complex. Tannins nice. I'm being picky, this is a great wine, but 12 wins by a neck.

Very dark, opaque. Best smell. Long finish, complex, starts sweet and turns dry. Strong like bull! Opens up nicely

Yes... again. It's the best Tinto 35 bucks buys at the closest wine store.

UPDATE: So this wasn't as round as last month's bottles. Then I noticed that this is the 2013 vintage. Hmmm, I need to ding it a point or two. The balance of the '12 is missing, and needed given this thing is 15.5% alcohol. Still really really good but...
