JCP Maltus, Les Asteries 2016
From the benchmark St Émilion Grand Cru Château Teyssier to the iconic Pontet Labrie and Le Dôme, Jonathan Maltus—alongside head winemaker Neil Whyte—crafts one of the most impressive wine portfolios in Bordeaux and beyond. Yet, each wine distinctly bears the Maltus signature: his signature “cashmere” tannins enveloping a core of rich, succulent fruit.
Sierra Cantabria, Finca El Bosque Rioja 2019
The 2018 Viñedos Sierra Cantabria Finca El Bosque is a deep, inky blue-black Rioja that immediately grabs your attention. The nose is complex and refined, with floral tones, wild herbs, blackberry, crème de cassis, and layers of creamy toasted oak and coffee spice. On the palate, it’s rich, dense, and structured, showing a powerful mix of fruit, oak, tannin, and acidity - all in beautiful balance. Made from 100% Tempranillo grown on the gravelly 1.5-hectare El Bosque vineyard (planted in 1973), this micro-cuvée showcases the full potential of mature vines. Each berry is hand-selected, and the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and 18 months of aging in new French and Romanian oak. A standout Rioja.
