Monday, April 1, 2024 - Last bottle of this vintage- we now move back to the 2009. As I stated before this has turned out to be a very good year for this wine. It is very Rioja and a lovely accompaniment to roast pork. Decanted for 30 minutes which allowed the smoky barbecue meat flavour to emerge after dinner. No need to hurry this one.

I find Rioja can age very well indeed, as well as much Claret. I still have some 2001 GR but most of my best Rioja is 2009 and. 2010 which I aim to enjoy over the next decade or more
