Château Latour Martillac Rouge, (Magnum) 2020
Thanks to the long involvement of generations of the Kressmann family, and the recognition shown in 1953 by the classification of Graves, the wines of Château Latour-Martillac feature among the best of Pessac-Léognan. The 2020 Rouge has a deep ruby colour. The nose is complex, offering layered aromas of ripe black fruits, including blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, accompanied by hints of violet, tobacco, cedar, and a touch of graphite. There are also subtle undertones of spice, a result of careful oak aging, which adds depth without overwhelming the fruit character. On the palate, the 2020 is structured and well-balanced, with fine-grained tannins and refreshing acidity. The flavours mirror the nose, with notes of dark berries, cassis, and plum, interwoven with earthy, mineral elements and a slight smokiness. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering notes of dark chocolate and spice, showcasing the wine’s aging potential.
CVNE, Real De Asùa 2020
CVNE Real de Asúa 2020 is a brilliant modern Rioja from one of the region’s most respected and historic producers—but with a contemporary twist. Made in honour of the Real de Asúa brothers who founded CVNE back in 1879, this wine brings heritage and craftsmanship into sharp, stylish focus. Sourced from a single vineyard in Villalba, one of the cooler spots in Rioja Alta, this 100% Tempranillo is all about purity, precision, and poise. The 2020 vintage is particularly elegant—lifted and aromatic, with notes of ripe red berries, sweet spice, and just a touch of cedar from the French oak. There’s lovely texture here too, with fine tannins and a long, graceful finish that hints at its ageing potential. Refined enough for a special dinner, but so beautifully balanced that it never feels overdone, it's a must-have for Rioja lovers.
