Henriques & Henriques

Madeira Bual 1954

The 1954 Bual from Henriques & Henriques was one of the weaker ones of the night. Mahogany and fairly dark. Very floral on the nose. Dried apricots on the palate. Mid length finish. Not especially complex. Enjoyable by any standards, but fell short here. — 8 years ago

Bodegas Palacio

Laguardia Rioja Alavesa Tempranillo 1954

25+ years in neutral barrels fixed the color here. Firm, midweight, sappy, sweet, woodlaced red fruit. Great length. Still incredibly hedonic— we drank far too rapidly. — 5 years ago

Antonio Vallana e Figlio

Spanna Cantina Castello di Montalbano Piemonte Nebbiolo 1954

This is dark and primary still. A tarry nose with a medicinal twist (Benadryl?). The palate is ripe and blocky. Few signs of its substantial age- deep and rich. Like an old school Cornas. Apparently these has 3-6 months contract with skin with minimal punching down which explains their unusual longevity. Amazing stuff. — 4 years ago

Cork took me a while, that’s why I’m not a Sommelier. Gorgeous honey color, almost amber. Caramel, honey, roasted nuts and dried tropical fruit on the nose. Full body, with high acid and alcohol on the minutes long finish. This is great. — 7 years ago

Bodegas Fuenmayor

Rioja 1954

Slightly musty nose of dried rose, plum, sour cherry. Lovely depth on the palate with dark fruit, some soured notes a touch of Madeira and a slightly drying finish. This has been open for over a week, so it’s holding up remarkably well for a wine of this age. Lovely stuff- a testament to the ageability of rioja. — 8 years ago
