And yet another wonderful evening. Opened some great stuff at the Round Rock Wine Bar. Every bottle opened up well, in fact way better than expected.
The Muga Rioja Gran Reserva was fruit-muted at the beginning, but with a decent decant, turned out splendid. The Penfolds 389 was a tad soft on the vibrant (Shiraz) character it is known for, but the wine drank well, regardless. The Cava was splendid, and Titziano Chianti Classico opened up much better than many a Chianti Classico from that vintage.
