6th and last bottle of this wine tasted. It is starting its way slightly down. Had very good memories for this wine, it was nowhere met in 2011 and 2012 vintages that I tasted from this producer. They lacked acidity, which was so typical for 2010 vintage, 2013 is looking more similar to 2010 vintage, maybe now time for repeat?? PIcs are in June 2013 tasting notes.
