Faustino I 1964-2000

2010 Faustino VII:

Ruby. Red and blueberries nose, vanilla. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fairly elegant fruit, but a bit simple. 83

2006 Faustino VI Reserva:

(Magnum) Ruby. Blueberries and liquorice nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, some barrel notes sticks it's head out in fairly elegant fruit, good length. 85

2000 Faustino I:

Ruby. Leather, liquorice, spicy and vanilla nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fresh fruit, a bit much barrel notes behind, good length. 86

1994 Faustino I:

Ruby, garnet rim. Somewhat dusty, figs and spicy nose. Fresh aidity, ripe tannins, fairly nice fruit but seems like a not perfect bottle. Another opened and confirmed with more fruit both on nose and palate. Good length. 88

1991 Faustino I:

Ruby, garnet rim. Spicy, liquorice and floral nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fruity palate but lean style and texture, good length. 87

1970 Faustino I:

Brick red. Floral, scented, figs and prunes nose, purer than last botte of this one, more refined. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, soon gone. Fruity, elegant, I think the best 70 Faustino I I've had, long finish. Many are a bit too dusty, this was not. 91

1964 Faustino I:

Brick with orange rim. Liquorice, vanilla, figs, coffee and something exotic behind. Fresh acidity, few tannins, polished texture, fruitier and more elegant than most bottles of this I've tried, and it's actually quite a few over the years, last one a few months back. 92
