2011 R. López de Heredia Rioja Reserva Viña Tondonia

Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more

From .375L PnP. I think this wine is not yet fully mature. However, there is already this typical understatement elegance that I like with Vina Tondonia. Will improve.

In the meantime I finished all my 8 bottles. All were consistently very good everyday wines, but probably would have improved if I would have resisted drinking them now.
Very good value, and on occasion I will buy some additional bottles.

2009 Château Lafon La Tuilerie

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more

5/10/2024 - egoya Likes this wine: 91 points

I guess this wine is now mature but to be honest I am not quite sure. It is full bodied but not really hedonistic, a bit rough, a bit too much dark chocolade. Nevertheless enjoyable but a trace of disappointment given the relatively high price. Four bottles left, so I will see how it develops further.

Overall disappointing. Did never over 4 hours get to the point I expected of a relatively high rank Pomerol. Is it still too young???

Medim to full bodied, IMO not yet in its prime. At the time being rather simple and a bit disappointing. I have 12 more bottles so I will see how it develops but I am not overoptimistic.

Opened my last OWC. PnP. Wine needed 10 minutes to open up and was then for the whole evening on the same high level as all our previous bottles. Excellent chateau, excellent vintage.

Sadly my last L´Arrosee ever. Sort of a funeral.
Medium bodied, elegant and enjoyable but certainly time to drink up.

I am a fan of this chateau and the 2009 is again sensationally good, mature, full bodied and hedonistic and with many years of life ahead.

In my opinion not yet fully mature. It opened up after 4 hours and was only then enjoyable but not comparable to e.g. 2009.

Decent everyday wine, medium bodied, clearly mature. Not worse than 2005 or 2009. I doubt, however, if this will last until 2030. Will drink my remaining >12 bottles in the near future.

My previous bottles were not really mature, but now the wine is IMO in its early maturity phase still having potential to improve. The wine is almost full bodied and the tannins are much less prominent, very enjoyable!

2005 Château Sociando-Mallet

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more

3/16/2024 - egoya Likes this wine: 92 points

I read here about decanting for several hours. I didn't have that time so I PnP and we drank it over 2 or 3 hours. We found this wine to be mature, medium bodied, and very enjoyable. I had many vintages of Sociando Mallet, and in my opinion 2005 is one of the best, almost as good as 2000, 2001 and 2003. Looking forward to my younger vintages slumbering in my cellar.

PnP: What a full bodied, hedonistic wine! In 2022 I had one of my 2009, and it was tannic and not really much enjoyable. So this 2010 came as a positive surprise, and I could become addicted.
