2009 vintage. Decanted and open for approx an hour before tasting. A little tight but Burgundian body and flavors. Wasn't picking up any Syrah notes in the nose either. 7.22.23. — 3 years ago

Ripe red and black fruits accent the strong leather, vanilla and tobacco aromas, lush on the palate with spicy tannins that linger on and on. — 4 years ago

Silver Oak never disappoints. Classic Napa , 2009 vintage. Happy to be able to drink this here in Shanghai where it’s virtually non existent. Just about at its peak I would say- dark cherries, a hint of eucalyptus, very resolved and smooth, drinking well. — 5 years ago

Young Bonneau du Martray; just linear, oak though a big presence is layered, nose awfully restrained and fruit basically hidden until it evolves some more; try in a decade maybe two; so slight but so tight; acid tucked behind the wood too; an evolution to happen; great Corton; an even better site when I drove past this vineyard in May this year; #drinkFrance #drinkburgundy #côtedor #cortoncharlemagne #corton #bonneaudumartray #grandcru #domaine #2009 #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours #France2016 — 11 years ago

Fruity aroma. Concentrated. Smooth. Still tannic. More years or decanting makes it much better. La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 2009. @2400, Kping - PEnoteca, 230601-230729 — 3 years ago

A bit of a disappointment compared to the last bottle we had. Maybe past its prime. Still solid, though. — 4 years ago

Needed a full hour in the decanter before it really began to show up, but could have used several more for sure. Rich, textured and with with quite racy acidity for 2009, showing squeezed lemons, yellow apple, ripe pear, spices and crushed oyster shells. Great purity and energy for the vintage as well that leads to a long intense and mineral infused finish. — 5 years ago

Dark fruit, cassis and black cherry, with cedar spice, sage and forest floor. Silky texture, but mouthfeel is a bit thin. — 6 years ago

This wine doesn't have much of the bouquet but it is great with flavor. Open and enjoy... earthy notes with balanced tannins. Medium body for Riojas! — 9 years ago

Pretty awesome Bordeaux blend from Justin. Nice balance of flavor and the Cab Franc comes though clearly even though it is only 3%. — 10 years ago

It is Tuesday night, the night after my first Covid-19 shot. I thought it would be nice to open a 2009 Muga Selección Especial Rioja Reserva. This is a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacha, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo.

On the nose there a notes of black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant, licorice, savory notes, leather and earth.

On the palate I find notes of black cherry, black plum, tomato, black currant, spice, licorice, black pepper, a nice mineral note and earth.

This wine is full bodied with a fleshy velvety mouthfeel, medium+ acidity and medium + fine mouth coating tannins which moves into a long dark fruit savory earthy finish. Definitely a lovely Rioja and in a very good drinking spot right now but still has many years to go. I hope everyone is doing well please still stay safe and healthy. Have a great week going forward.
