Wine Enthusiast: 98 Points

A single-vineyard Alicante Bouschet wine aged in tonels 3 and 4, two handsome wood casks big enough to walk through. The wine is only released in selected years. This vintage, now almost mature, shows both aging potential and great power as well as elegance. There is a fine juicy character that gives it unique freshness while it matures. Drink now or just wait until 2024.

The 2013 Tinto Tonel No. 3-4 was aged for 40 months in large Portuguese and Brazilian tonels, then held back for 22 months in bottle. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol. This will be released at the end of the year. More concentrated than the regular 2013 and with very dark color, this then adds what the Tonel usually adds—acidity, freshness and silky texture. Not to mention power. Overall, it is simply more vivid, livelier and more lifted than the regular Estate Tinto. As with the regular, I also saw this with several hours open. However, the change here was not as great as with the Estate Tinto because this Tonel is simply so much tighter. It is almost frozen in place. With air, the power only increased. This is potentially a great Tonel, but that is always a determination that is finally made by having it take the test of time. For the meanwhile, let's say "brilliant," and add that it has a lot of upside potential. This will have a long aging curve. Let's start here.
