This may not be one of the great wines of Spain but it is rich, full of fruit and body and a thoroughly enjoyable wine which is exceptional value for such a low price. Don't be deceived, it is well made and drinking very well.

The last time genuine bottles of this were served were for the State dinner given by HM The Queen to M. Sarkozy at Buckingham Palace. He didn't taste it! Anything on the market these days from 1961 is 99.9% likely to be a fake, as mine is (an acknowledged one!)
