1963 Constantino

[Alex Bridgeman]

A lovely rich and mature red colour, still 50% opaque. Slightly muted on the nose, showing some sweet red and floral fruit - lovely, although a little faint. Mature on the palate, but still with some aspects of youth with fine fruit and soft tannins. Delicious lingering redcurrant and cranberry finish. A really lovely wine, younger seeming than most of the wines being tasted the evening, but still so well poised. Served blind this was guessed to be SW70. 91/100. 20-Jan-22. Decanted 4½ hours.
