1965 Vega Sicilia Único Gran Reserva Ribera del Duero
BARLEY...
This bottle was dripping when my friend pulled it out of his wine fridge, and the cork fell into the bottle with the slightest force applied, so my notes here may not represent a perfectly condition bottle.
Perhaps this was the first time I have ever come across a character of strong barley both on the nose and palette. The wine was still drinkable, and it somehow associated with Vega Sicilia style, perhaps in a maderized way. So take this report as a pinch of salt.
