Special occasion Riojas
These will keep a few years yet, especially the white Rioja (on the left). I first tried it in the '80s and thought it was horrid (like drinking solid oak, if such a thing were possible!) but a student of mine (he is also a wine merchant here in Madrid) changed my attitude towards it by serving me a glass from half a bottle that was left over from a wine-tasting he did 3 months earlier (thank you Andreas!), and the bottle had been open and out of the fridge that long. It was sensational!
These will be familiar to some of our (wealthier and/or aspirational) Iberian membership, I'm sure. They are not my day-to-day regular drinking! The middle one would retail today at well over 100€ a bottle (I just checked; the cheapest on line offer is currently 153€ for the '95 - I used to buy the '68 in 1981 in the UK for £4.50 or thereabouts!)
OK, in for a penny in for a pound, best buys for the others; Muga Prado Enea '06: 45,60€ and the white Tondonia '07; 72,00€. My average bottle spend these days: 4,00€.

Andy Rodker club has replied to José Manuel Polo clubMy father was a Spanish wine specialist. He held one of the few exclusive licences to sell Vega Sicilia in the UK (In fact I still have a few Unico 1973 and 1976s and a couple of Especiales in his cellar in Cornwall, as well as much else)!

Vega Sicilia sabemos dónde está, mi familia política procede de esas tierras del Duero. Creo que se vendió todo o parte a familia inglesa y también que la nueva dirección se interesó por la Rioja Alavesa y compró allí terrenos para elaborar otras variedades de Vega Sicilia, ahora han creado una bodega en Samaniego, provincia de Álava (País Vasco), por algo será;--)

(There are still affordable and drinkable Riojas, I'm pleased to say!)

Andy Rodker club has replied to Fred Fouarge clubI drink, only with food and with moderation, but fortunately my health has been good till now. Maybe red wine preserves... hehehe (I almost never drink white wine, except in Summer because there is a slightly sparkling wine from Huelva I enjoy...).
Would be nice to arrange for an ipernity meeting around wine !
I know for a fact that the 'specials' I bought over time, and are lying in my dad's cellar, .. I won't get a chance to drink them unless my parents live forever, and/or I am able to go there with a van.
I suppose if I didn't want them to end up under an auctoneer's hammer, I would need to specify their direction now! Covid and Brexit have completely screwed these things up!

Andy Rodker club has replied to J.Garcia clubAndy Rodker club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne clubRosa,
As explained above these are NOT my everyday wines. Possibly once in every three years!!!!
Andy Rodker club has replied to Gilbert H clubNone of the above but it is quite heavily oaked. I don't normally like too much oak, but this is different and special. It is designed to keep. Lasts for decades In a cool and dark place.
