2018 Celler de Capçanes Montsant Mas Donís Barrica (Old Vines)

I think this wine is better a bit younger, in the 3-4ish year old range. Had several bottles in late 2022/early 2023 which were fine, but more recently has not been so enjoyable. Needing more air to open up, and just no longer as impressive as it was when younger. Probably not a wine for long aging.
Now, where can I find some 2020?

2020 Bodega Catena Zapata Malbec Lunlunta

Solid Catena entry-level Malbec. Possibly our favorite of the 3 Appellation series wines. I decanted it but this clearly can be popped & poured.

2018 Stereophonic Wines The Dream of Spring
3/2/2024 - FelineAvenger Likes this wine:
This is pretty good but really needs substantial air to open up well. I decanted this with time planned for 1.5 hours sitting before dinner time (having seen another note recommending 1 hour to be enjoyable). Immediately after decanting I took a small tasting pour and it was a bit too hot to be enjoyable. After returning with take-out dinner an hour and a half later, it was better but there was still noticeable heat. Took another 30-60 minutes to start drinking nicely in my opinion. Would suggest planning for 2.5-3 hour decant.
