As tradition says this is the first wine from 2013 vintage that should be opened on St. Martin's day (today) at 11:11:11:11. I actually opened it for lunch couple of minutes later and it was pleasant fruity experience, not bad fully in line with the expectations from such a young wine. The other saying is that St. Martin brings first snow, luckily we still have very nice weather and it is better to drink the wine, then freeze in the snow:-).
