Is there a bad vintage of Tondonia Gran Reserva? I think not. This should be good for another decade or more.

This wine is 42 years old. Oldest wine I’ve ever had. It was amazing. Still had so much flavor. Obviously more subdued than the 2002 we drank alongside. It was the last wedding gift we’ve opened (only took 12+ years)
