2009 Château Talbot

Last note was in March 2016. I had a look at what I'd written eight years ago to refresh my memory. It's still pretty much in the same place with an inky dark red color in the glass with rich dark fruits on the palate and a texture like silk, but still some decent tannins left. The oak seems to have gone though. Over a couple of hours it evolved and became more complex. I guess that there must be at least another five years or longer left in this beauty from a fantastic vintage. This was the last bottle from a case of six. But I have the 2020 to look forward to in a few years time.

2012 Louis Jadot Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Vergelesses Domaine Louis Jadot

No formal tasting notes. But from memory, the color is a very pleasing deep Burgundy Red with red fruits and black currant on the nose. This has been very well extracted, and it's quite full bodied with a nice balance of dark fruits, medium acidity and silky smooth tannins, which conspire to makes you want the bottle to last forever. There are no signs of aging, and I'd expect this to hold good for another 4 to 5 years. My kind of Burgundy.

2010 Bodegas Muga Rioja Gran Reserva Prado Enea

Consumed two bottles over a spicy hotpot with friends, so no formal notes. But from memory, this is a very traditional Rioja, quite deep red and beautifully balanced. There are no signs of age, just gorgeous mellowness (if that's a word). This has everything I could want from a Rioja Gran Reserva. I would expect this to hold good for another 10 years.
