2019 Black Stallion Estate Winery Cabernet Sauvignon

Extremely full bodied and silky mouth feel. Lingering. With loads of chalky backbone to carry the wine.
Not super complex. Loads of Blackcurrant. Like a berry compote.
A bit warming. Alcohol comes through a bit at the end, but now in winter time its actually quite ok. A bit port feel to be honest.
So not a complex wine but has enough layers, to keep it interesting, and the silkyness and smoothness is irresestible. Delicious wine that keeps things classy.
Seducing Cabernet Sauvignon.

2020 Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon

Not very open aromas: surprisingly some tobacco. Minerals earth. Was excpecting more fruit.
Really full bodied on the mouth. Bombastic fruit galore, with good structure still underneath. Also quite a bit of chocolate. Raspberry also in the longish aftertaste. Alcohol was present at the end, but not too bad. Delicious wine
to be honest. 90p

2014 Campo Viejo Rioja Reserva

I dont understand that people complain that this is oaky; its a Rioja Reserva, they are oaky. And this is actually on the old school style, not so jammy and vanilla coconutty etc. Its thin, but I actually dont mind, this is a rustical old world vino. Very dry, Leatherry, earthy. Not very complex or mind blowing but a good qpr
