  Still managed to show good acidity.

  Trodde at denne skulle være 20 år for gammel. Det var den ikke. Fortsatt frukt og litt eik. Konsentrert. Veldig lang ettersmak.

  Very light color, still quite fruity, very animal, some sweetness, juicy. Best with ham (prosciutto) and balsamic vinegar. Nice.

  70s Rioja and Bellota Ham: Medium crimson red with watery edges. In the nose, this is similar to the 1976 with mostly secondary aromas, but a little more residual fruit (red currant, sour cherry), more harmony and more life. On the palate, this is also relatively lively with fresh acidity, some fruit, yet - like the 1976 - drying tannins in the rather tart finish.
