1959 TORRES GRAN CORONAS GRAN RESERVA PENEDES- also popped and poured; the colour was reddish purple with no evidence of bricking; the nose had a lot of stuff to greet one with that promised a fine journey; it gave up nice dried black raspberry and cherry along with some leather and earth; the taste had generous amounts of cranberry, cherry and boysenberry with help from a dollop of talc and sandalwood; in contrast to the Muga, this was a bit bigger, more medium to full bodied and therefore less elegant and perhaps a tad more youthful in colour; it had good energy and a lovely aura; both were winners.

2007 Novy Syrah Party + A Pile Of Other Things (The Murray Casa): a 1959? my god, Eric....nice bottle to share. 50 years old. Brown and caramel in color, with spice box, molasses, some herb and caramel. Probably the oldest single vintage wine I have drank to date. What history.
