  Nice old rioja. Could keep for a few years but not too many.

  Still astonishing to drink at almost 40 years.
  As I'm the past, despite the age, it needs 30 minutes to open up.
  Very complex nose. Fruit still there for about an hour.
  Only one left....

  Pale Red color; very translucent, bricking at the rim.
  On the nose dried rose petals and red berries; on the palate at first very reticent, even appearing frail.
  Developed nicely in the glass with exposure to air and rising temperature; then pleasant to drink.
  But not quite in the same league as the Berberana 1977 Centenario
