2 Tuscans, 1 Franken, 1 Rioja

I opened the 2004
Muga Rioja Reserva to accompany. Big red fruits, but what a whollop of
oak. Vanilla-y oak, dill-y oak, coffee-oak. I looked to see if I had
somehow ended up with a bottle of the Torre Muga, nope, it's the
Reserva. I've had friends rave over this, now I have some more data re
their tastes. I'll revisit to see if time causes a bit of integration,
but for now I think that my next batch of vinegar will be a touch
oaky. C+ from me, though I'm sure others would rate much higher.
Since I really didn't feel like drinking the Rioja, I opened a white.
My notes on a 2006 WHITE Muga Rioja bought twice May & June 2008, $11 -
"Would buy again."
