2010 Marqués de Murrieta Rioja Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo

If you’re going to drink this now, it needs a solid 6 hour decant. Smoky leather and burnt cherry. Hardly any oak for a Rioja. Underwhelmed.

2020 Kosta Browne Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Decanted 10 hours. Very nice fruity profile. Has a nice understated complexity. Not as light as what you’d expect from Sonoma, yet not quite the elegant finesse of Bourgogne, especially for a premier cru. Good first attempt. Needs more time.

Have any of you received an allocation from Marcassin recently? My last allocation was the 13 Chard.

Very earthy, funky, and smoky. A bit of pepper. Great wine!
