Decant: 8 hours - Only the first three digits of the vintage could be read from the cork. As Martinez only declared 1960, '63 and '67 it was an educated guess that this was the 1967. Cloudy and orange in appearance, not looking great. Nice mixture of nuts and oranges on the nose. Pleasant in the moth, sweet and very mature. Sweet with fudge, almond and brown sugar. The aftertaste is dominated by the sugar flavours, but does show some raisins and a bit of structural acidity. Weak compared to the other wines on show at the Third TPF Christmas Offline, but perfectly respectable in its own right. 85/100. 85 points
