1932 Gonzalez Byass Garrafeira

Post by uncle tom »

Bottled 1935, decanted 1970

- Decanted again yesterday on the occasion of my uncle's 90th birthday.

This, I think, the first time I've ever popped a garrafeira, and the only one I've ever come across one at auction that was not made by Niepoort.

A moderately light, aromatic, balanced and most elegant wine, very well received by all.
