An intriguing wine with a slightly oxidative character, much like a Jura white or a Lopez de Heredia white Rioja. If you can live with the slightly sherry note, this was a great wine with wonderful vibrancy. Great acidity, with a citric and salty sensation. Tangy and savory with superb length. Unique and enjoyable and very food friendly.

Vibrant wine with citrus, orange oil and a pithy note. A bit rounded and accessible compared to the 1997 and 2010, but this was indeed quite sharp and precise. Gets better with air.

These white Colares are so vibrant, and this one is no exception. A bit of a floral note here to go with the lemon and lime flavors. A hint of peach as well and a slight bread crust note in the finish. This was so pure and crystalline in texture. Complex, steely, electric and lengthy.

A bit milky on the nose, with a very lifted, high-toned palate. Sour cherries, iron filings and rocks. Doesn't sound appealing, but this was fabulous. A bit of a saline edge to this wine, with a palate scraping finish. Hard and stoney in the best possible way.

A bit riper and more accessible than the 1996 version. Ripe, tart cranberry and crunchy minerals. Sharp cut with a whiplash finish that comes and goes in waves. Make no mistake, although more accessible than the 1996, this still has a stiff tannic spine and could use time in the cellar.

Very similar to the 1996 and 1997 in regards to the tart red fruit and mineral palate, but this also had a bit of a refreshing herbal note as well. Sharp and well defined. Burgundian, but with tannins.

The color was surprisingly deep red. A bit of developed flavors here, like dried flowers and dried red fruits. Great minerality here, with some iron and gun metal notes. This was deep , earthy and lively. Juicy, mouth-watering finish.

Odd flavors; seemed TCA tainted. A second bottle was better, but it was sampled from the same glass, so not really able to accurately access.

This was flat out gorgeous. Still youthful and full of life. The fruit here is a bit more plump and fleshy than the other bottles, but this still has great precision and poise. Cherry fruits, rose petals a hint of anise and tar. Deep wine and quite velvety, given the super fine tannins. Almost Gevry-Chambertin-like.

Are you kidding me? The color here is dark red with a slight rust edge. Doesn't Romisco ever lose it's color? A bit more development here, with some mushroom, mint, forest floor and quinine notes, but the red fruit is still there. An odd rubber note detracted a bit, but this was very enjoyable, especially given its age.

Just like the 1931, this was deep red in color with a slight rust rim. A bit more pure than the 1931 (no rubber note). Dried, tart red fruits, but lots of secondary notes of chestnut, iodine, antique wood and spice. Layered, complex and very lengthy. The tannins were fine and filigree. So much going on in this wine. It almost sounds crazy, but this could probably age more, given the deep color, quantity of fruit and still-clinging structure. My wine of the night.

Similar to my previous note, except with the luxury of tasting this with bottlings over 80 years old, it had some citrus, orange zest character to it. A wine for rock-heads, with a high-toned, gravelly palate. So much freshness and lift here. Needs time; based on the older wines tasted this night.... LOTS of time.
