  A Tasting of 1964 Gran Reserva Rioja and Even Older White Rioja! (Los Gatos, California): Light ruby. Excellent maturing Rioja. Lighter weight, very good complexity.

  Similar color as bottle enjoyed two weeks ago. But more mature palate. Much more sediment in this bottle compared to prior one. Leather, iodine, some drying tannins, smooth, with little to no fruit. Recommend drink up.

  Much better at 20 years than it was at 15. Deep crystalline maroon color. Little to no sediment. With PnP, fruit is shining, leather, cinnamon, hint of tannin. Balanced for future improvement next 5 years, at least.

  Deep ruby in glass, lightening at rim. Spicy red fruits on first pour, turning to sour cherry, leather and herbs. Dusty tannins after 60 minutes. Early maturity. Should continue to age well 5 - 10+ years more.

  Smooth with dark red fruits when opened. Drying tannins add complexity after 2 hours in glass. Firm and smooth after remaining in decanter overnight. Early maturity. Should last a long time.
