Volatile has landed. Memories to what at some point were elegant aromas of roasted apples and on the palate a watery, rancid texture, without body, neither length. Once again we have caught this too late.
La volátil ha llegado. Recuerdos a lo que en algún momento fueron unos aromas elegantes a manzanas asadas y al paladar una textura acuosa, rancia, sin cuerpo ni longitud alguna. De nuevo hemos llegado demasiado tarde para esta botella en particular.

Una botella zombie que trataba de revivir. En nariz un oloroso, a nuestro ojos un imbebible líquido turbio, al paladar nada más que un pico de acidez. Lástima.

Pale tawny. Some lovely faded leaf notes, but persistent mustiness. Dry fruit. There was some debate about this in terms of just old versus corked. Tough call, but I'll go with corked.

Cork soaked through but no evidence of leakage. The wine was in perfect shape, fruit fading, beautiful earthy aromas, not an exceptional example but delicious and a very good value for a wine of this age.

Color is a mix of dark purple and burnished colors , but predominantly brown. Overall, maderized with more acidity than would be expected and oxidative notes. There is some fruit hanging on, with the acidity shows bright red cherry. The sediment was consolidated at the bottom of the bottle and the cork was dry, this may have been stored for some years standing up. Drinkable, but not great...

Flashing Alicante 6; 12/6/2017-12/10/2017 (Alicante - España): A zombie bottle. An oloroso style on the nose, undrinkable turbid liquid to our eyes, little acidity and nothing else on the palate. A pity.
