Massandra Xeres 1946 — 12 years ago
Not my Dad's birth year, but as close as I could find for his 83rd. Mid-shoulder fill, completely soaked cork. Room-filling nose of raisin and toffee. The fortifying spirit is probably the dominant remaining component, but fairly smooth and liqueur-like,. Some raisin, butterscotch and coffee on the palate. A bit of bitterness on the finish and a slight burn going down. Seemed stronger than the 19.1 ABV. Still fun to share this though. — 10 years ago

Wow. What a thrilling nose and perfectly integrated palette. It's from 1936 so I'm just grateful to have enjoyed a glass — 10 years ago
