Almost... The
1808 Madeira was the first Madeira I have had that was "off". Some experts say it can take over 2 hours of decanting and they can turn around. This bottle was supplied by my friend and I'll find out today if it has improved. I kind of doubt it. The Sherry was still holding up well. The oldest I have drank previously was 1962; so this was a treat. Probably not the kind of Sherry meant for the long haul, but still ticking away.
The
1952 Mouton and
1955 Taylor were two best of the evening.
1970 Fonseca was obviously great too, but have had it several times... Every other bottle that night was a first for me. Too bad the Burgundy was a loss, it had good color and fill, but that only means so much.
