Mine was 30 years old. Marques de Murrieta Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 1978. It is really a treat to try a wine with such age. It's something that I love about wine because it is a living thing. It takes such a craft to create a wine that will last for 30 yrs! Especially when 9/10 wines out there today are meant to be drunk on the short term. Tasting notes:
Light in color, but amazingly still alive thanks to lively acidity. Has something on the nose that to me seems a bit like something you smell on a nice port. Some cherries and raisins in the mix. Just fun to drink! ~$240/btl
