All the more surprising, then, when you pour a thirty-five-year-old glass and it's still positively ruby. On the nose, I catch sour cherry, these tangy Nordic berry hints, even a whiff of fresh blood and vegetable notes, along with crushed gravel, old leather, tobacco leaf, and a touch of prune. Structurally, it's on the firmer side—yes, there are clues it's been around the block, but there's also youthful energy beneath the surface. The whole thing oddly reminds me of Tondonia Reserva from a younger vintage (let's say 2011). Delicious, fascinating, but I don’t see myself stocking up. That said, it’s a small testament to how some wines can gracefully sidestep time’s usual grip, staying alive and—somehow—still kicking.
