Interesting object - clearly past its prime and yet a curious opportunity to taste Rioja from the 1970's. Quite a faint hue and colour browning with some speckled sediment. Taste a bit 'corked' without too much finness - faded aroma and not enough structure to hold on. This wine should have been enjoyed in 1990, latest. With a better wine-producer, possible that the 1976 could have lasted longer
