Introduction
This was going to be spectacular, so decided to open up for some wine history.
Flight 1 - Wine history (3 notes)
A btl of Priorat from before Priorat was Priorat and one btl of Bierzo from before the hipsters claimed Murcia. And wife's wagyu steak...
Red
1994 Palacio de Arganza Bierzo
94 points
Deep, beautiful red with a fine structure. Blueberries, red fruit, tasty acidity and a good share of tannic backbone.
Would happily drink again :-)

1987 Rotllan Torra Priorat Gran Reserva

Absolutely pristine and stunning wine with a youthful appearance. No oxidisation at all, not qualifying as "old". This stunning oddity with 70% Grenache and 30% Cabernet sauvignon would be rather confusing in a blind tasting. The best of two worlds at the same time. Has restrained elegance á la Bdx as well as a warm and welcoming component. Blastingly beautiful. Exceptional!
Has a lot to offer for many years to come.
Married wife's perfect wagyu steak.

Still very young and best on day 3.
Took over 5 hours in the decanter before it started to unfurl it's exceptional cherrie, fruit and tannins. Superbly elegant in a most beautiful transparent style. Autumn leaves, pipe tobacco and acids to die for. Highly satisfying tannins.
Should rest some odd 20 or so more years before reaching its peak.

What a plummy, yummy treat!
Together with great cheese...

Hugely satisfying wines. Better than I deserve. So fantastic I wanted to write ecstatic poetry, but fell asleap. Like a failed Charles Bukowski wannabe.
