After tasting the ethereal

a medium to full-bodied

once the typical reductive notes of the variety have disappeared

shows hearty concentration with a solid upfront wood smoke and cherry liquer impact against a background of ground spices

Opus One 2022 750ML LeftRightBord2026 The 2024 Riesling Jean BaptisteGenerous, with savory aromas of ripe blackcurrants and fresh black cherries and a gentle texture that shows a slight nip of tannin. It is well structured and a bit tight, which is normal for a young cabernet sauvignon based red thats a proven collectible. Gives up graphite and pencil shavings, some cocoa and espresso. Full bodied. Spicy, toasty oak is really showing through right now. Best from 2028.
