Spanish Wines (Liz's House): Thanks to the host for sharing this old sherry. The nose on this wine is a janitor's closet, with fungus and volatile chemicals. The palate is nothing like that, caramel, rich toffee, spice. Quite sweet, this is dessert in a glass. There is enough acidity for balance. The palate had great complexity, and a treat to drink a wine from this year.

I loved this wine. Dark, dark red in color and crazy viscous. Caramel, raisins, and coffee throughout. Basically, it's your creme brûlée and coffee all in one bottle.

This wine has not changed in 10 years. Viscous, but with nice acidity giving it lift. Complex and long. Probably not as good as the '71, but excellent and should last forever.

Strong nose but salted caramel finish. Would be great on ice cream.
