Guys,

Anyone have any spare old Spanish red wine from a decent producer ??

I am attending another evening do and the theme is Spanish wines, this is a new area to me apart from basic supermarket riojas etc.

Ideally a wine from the early 1980`s would be good as long as its under £40.00.

Duncan / Mel any spare in your vast cellars ??

Regards
Richard

This is the one you want from Majestic @ £25 per bottle:

Monte Real Gran Reserva 1978

I have some gran reserva, but nothing earlier than 1995 here.

Tell Majestic by email that you're doing a formal tasting session, and they will prossibly let you get away without buying 6. I should get in contact fairly quickly if I were you. Or mix with other affordable choices.

Order using Mel's banner

Duncan,

Many thanks I have two of these from Costco in my cellar I forgot about.

The only problem though is I guess 2/3rd of the attendees would have tried this one already.

Will ask though as it would save me some money !!

Regards
Richard

Out of interest is Monte Real GR '78 any good ?

Is tempting for me to get a few bottles as is the year of mine and a good few of my friend's birth....

Shezza,

Two new tns on cellar tracker which would suggest it is still a decent wine with good length.

Regards
Richard

Would've suggested same, had the boys not beaten me to it.

I have particularly enjoyed two Cote d'Or wines positively reviewed by Clayton Smith in the past. Based on those, I have a good reason to trust him.

If buying for DOB reasons, for the wine to go to a 40th as attractive as it is now for 2018 celebrations, that is another call. The Maj fine wine centre is in St. Johns Wood, I believe. Call them if you can get the tel.number, for an opinion.

For £25 and drinking 2010/2011/2012 it is a snip.

Costco cash & carry stock & sell 20 year plus Rioja gran reserva ? - Struth . You sure ! And how long ago ?

Bought my two last year I think.
