Señorío de Coblas 1995 - Rioja Reserva (23/2/07)


Felipe came round for dinner and we had this after having a bottle of Tilenus.

This wine was very poor. We didn't finish the bottle and I threw what was left away the following day.

Murua Reserva 2000 - Rioja (4/2/07)

Rafa brought this to the barbecue. It was good but probably would have been better out of proper glasses (not cañas).
Rafa lo trajo a la torrá. Estaba bueno, pero probablemente hubiera sido mejor beberlo de copas buenas (y no cañas).
