Cambio de Tercio, London SW5
Tasted Monday, May 23, 2011 by Rupert with 882 views
This dinner was the brainchild of Ken Lamb who asked ten of us to bring a López de Heredia wine no younger than 1968. The result was a thrilling line-up of wines, pretty much all of which delivered - the 57 was the pick of the whites, but it would be impossible to pick a winner from the reds - the 42, 47, the two 54s, the 64, the two 68s - all quite sensational. And all to the accompaniment of a fantastic series of Spanish dishes.

Very oxidative and advanced - tastes twenty years older than it actually is - gentle mousse, good biscuit finish. I had a small top up from the second bottle which was much fresher.
