Cor Leonis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Deep inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Strong nose of black currants, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco, licorice, light vanilla, chocolates, peppercorn, pencil lead, dark coffee and light herbs.

Full-bodied, elegant and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, cedar, herbs, chocolates, tobacco leaf, light earth, Indian spices, dark coffee and light pencil lead.

Long finish with fine grained tannins, cherries and spices.

This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is already drinking beautifully. Such a great surprise.

Well balanced with great complexity. Soft, with a smooth mouthfeel.

This 6 year old Cabernet is elegant and robust at the same time.
Rich and extracted. Powerful, yet restrained. Loved the nose here.

Good right out of the bottle, but so much better after 4 hours of airtime.

I had the 2013 vintage 3 years ago, but it wasn't as good as this one. Might have been that specific bottle.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.

Such a great experience to drink it with the wine maker.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (70% new) French oak barrels for 18 months.

15.1% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

$400.

Black Slate Porrera Vi de la Vila Priorat Garnacha Blend 2019

Oh yeah this is the stuff. Minerally, herby, leather/tobacco blackberry jam nose. Assertive but not aggressive dark fruits and barrel tannin on the palate. You can't stop sipping it. Would absolutely drink again. — 10 months ago
