1976 Blandy Terrantez
Bought 2 bottles a couple months ago and decided to give it a spin Friday night. Very dark color, not bright at all. Very sweet with minimal acidity on the first night. Not interesting. Fast forward to Sunday. Still dark, still sweet, still lacking in acidity. Prunes, baked peaches, and baked apples. Stewed fruit. I remember having this on the Island (or was it the '69?) in August and liking it. Not really sure whats going on with this one. Reminded my SOOO much of an Estufa wine, but I know that cannot be. Will try this again in a weeks time. Hoping for improvement.

Sounds very disappointing. I have been thinking about buying this one, but will refrain based on your note. Thanks, Justin! ![[cheers.gif]](./images/smilies/cheers.gif "Toast")

I have had several bottles and still have 4. Your experience is completely unlike mine. It has usually made a good impression in tastings, also. It sounds like an example of severe bottle variation.
