  Some evolution on the nose, more pleasant on the mouth than in the nose. It needs at least 2-3 hours decanter. Drank over a Ricolma vertical dinner of 2018, 2014, 2013, 2011 (gone) and a magnificent 2007 magnum. I’ve found 2014 even better on the nose. Guess this hadn’t been preserved well.

  The ‘13 La Ricolma showed a darker and spicier expression than the vintages surrounding it. Here I found a bouquet of crushed black raspberry, tart cherry, sage, dusty earth tones, stone dust and dried florals. On the palate, silky textures were contrasted by savory spice, minerals and lively acidity, as an intense mix of saturating red and blue fruits bombarded the senses, leaving youthful tannins in their wake. The finish was long and structured, as zesty acids gave life to lingering tart cherry, spice and minerals. There are many years of evolution in store for the ‘13, and anyone who has it in their cellar will be very happy in another ten years of more.

  Tasted during a WA event "a matter of taste" walk about, so no tasting notes, only occasional impressions. A solid Merlot with good Tuscan terroir (torrefaction, herbal) aromas, I don't see the 97pt WA score though.

  No detailed notes. Full body, bold aromas, still some hard edges and not perfectly integrated (we had no decant). Was clearly better on day two. Could develop into something very good. Value for money is great (not considered for the rating). Wait a couple of years or decant it for 10 hours. 92-96 points.
