A 1959 Birthday Dinner (Los Gatos, California): Two different bottles. One was shot, all VA. The other was one of those perfectly delectable old Riojas, faded in color, but full of delicately sweet red fruit, fine acidity, and a base of balsam wood. So, the moral of the story is that there are still really good bottles out there, just not all of them.
