Jim's Retirement Party (Libertyville, IL): I recall adoring this wine when last tasted (20 years ago?), but tonight's was the rare tired bottle of López de Heredia.

This was my last of four 1968's that I had over previous 10 years. This bottle also traveled a bit more than it probably should have. Yet, it was a pleasure to drink, with a delicate and distinct perfume well sustained through the evening. The bottle, as distinct from the previous three, was a little past its prime. The aftertaste did not last at all, and the colors are now on the wrong side of rusty.

Vinen hadde mistet nesten all farge og fremsto mer som en rosevin på farge. Aroma av svært gammel Madeira og overmoden frukt. Etter noen timer i glasset kommer det røyk treverk og skogbunn.

Fiftieth Birthday Dinner with 1968 Riojas and Other Treats (San Francisco): Pale with browning. Stalky, peppery nose. Dry, earthy, curious flavors of celery. Flawed or just old and dried out? No matter, not a pleasant drink.

Uncles Fine Wine Club’s - Spontaneous wine tasting event at Tords: An ocean of tertiary aromas. Over the top but still fun. I’ve had an Ygay from the same vintage which was in a lot neater shape.
