2009: TEN YEARS LATER

Not far behind, 2009 emerged, after three underperforming vintages, as an excellent year in Spain’s major wine areas, from Rioja to Ribera del Duero through Priorat and Toro. It was also a great vintage in Bordeaux, the Rhône, Tuscany and California. After a decade of evolution, it is a good time to taste some of the best 2009 wines from of these top areas.
