  Deep golden. Maderized and funky. Basically like drinking Amontillado.

  Decades of 6 (The Papies, Elizabeth St, London): Maderised and gone. Shame.

  Deep gold in colour. Expressive, wonderful nose, spices, caramel, honey, flowers. Again some bitterness and dryness on the palate with less depth and length than the 1987 Gran Reserva in comparison. 89-91

  What a suprise after my last bottle. Deep, full-bodied, focused and fresh with big rich fruit, great balance and complexity and a long finish.

  Lopez de Heredia Tasting - 4 decades (Sunfish Cellars, St. Paul, MN): Severe oxidation, sharp, nutty, phenolic, earthy. Palate is consistent. Didn't work for me, didn't hear anyone that thought this decent.
