  Another great bottle of this vintage, nose is driven by spice, tobacco , bit of saddle leather and cedar mingled with red fruit.
  In the mouth this is super polished, the oak is perfectly integrated with the fruit, notes of caramel and macerated blueberry mingling with an acidity on the balsamic side of the spectrum , lovely wine really on point this evening...sure this has potential for another few years but with 2 hours in the small decanter it was perfect tonight.

  Spain (Home): Reductive. Nose with dairy product and bread, dark fruit. On the palate there is nice concentration with dark red fruit as the most prominent.

  Head to head with a Tondonia 1995, the CVNE was more fruit driven, more solar, more intensity. Two very different type of wines, the tondonia was a nose wine the CVNE was more pleasurable in the mouth but seemed still young, still comfortably on its plateau

  PNP into Galateo Burgundy glass (“No” day): Garnet with bricking rims.
  
  Tobacco leaves and cigar box notes. Mushroom and sou bois on the nose. Caramel notes too. Tertiary notes but remain very precise.
  
  Nicely acidic and consistent flavours with the nose.
  
  92-93 points.
