Opus One
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019
From MAG
2 hour decant. A striking purplish dark garnet color. On the nose: beautiful notes of dark fruit, pencil shavings, herbaceous, vanilla, cloves. Taste: creamy, polished, structured wine with blackberry, dark chocolate, minerals, bell pepper, leather, and a decent herbal/potting soil finish. Drinks surprisingly well with the decant at this age, and of course a few more years it will improve. YUM! — 2 days ago

C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España)
Imperial Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2018
Deep Ruby, aromas of sweet red and black fruits with pepper spice and oak. 4 grape blend from some of CVNE's best vineyards in the Rioja Alta (85% Tempranillo, rest Garnacha, Mazuelo & Graciano), aged in both French and American oak for 24 months. On the palate flavors of blackberry and currants with licorice, vanilla, tobacco & toasty oak tones. Soft full ripe tannins, wonderful balance, lively acidity on a long finish ending with an earthy mineral character. Very nice! — 2 days ago

Many CCC old vine wines I’ve had tend to be open and friendly right out of the gate, but this guy is serious and a bit more reserved. Nose is a bit shy but shows dark, sultry berry fruit, some fragrant loamy earthiness, and moist underbrush. In the mouth it’s surprisingly structured, with a steely core of tightly-wound fruit lurking behind a bit of tight tannin and some nice acids. This needs a couple more years but your patience will be rewarded. 9.1 for now with significant upside potential. — 4 hours ago
