Drinking nicely especially with a couple of hour air, ludens cherry cough drops, American oak, tea, and cigar. I am noticing some fairly significant bottle variation on these as this one was far less expressive as the last bottle a month or so ago.

Slight bricking. Nice herbal, meaty nose. Still solid Tempranillo fruit with smoke, char, and long tart finish. Nothing out place. Drinking very well now but may not improve.

God frukt med tanniner som treffer helstekt indrefilet av okse med bernaisesaus og bakt potet. Dette er fortsatt en matvin som har blitt rundere med åra.

Wine night serving 2008 Lyeth Chronology Grand Reserve, 2007 Justin Isosceles & 2007 Muga Rioja Reserva Unfiltered, each decanted 1 hour. All 3 were very good and enjoyed by all but definitely all are starting to decline. If you have I recommend drinking ASAP. Unanimously it was determined the best overall and well put together order of best to least best is as listed above.
Certainly past its prime. Nose and flavors of spice box, prunes and black licorice with a medium finish. Don’t get me wrong it is a good wine, I just wish I had I had opened it a year or two sooner.

Lovely stuff, fully mature, classic old school rioja, some fading cherry fruit, sandalwood and leather. Doubt this will improve, very good value.
