Andalucia-Malaga 1928-1933

1928-1933 Andalucia-Malaga;

Actually the second time I try one of these, brownish with orange rim, chocolate and coffee, more deep and intense than the last (more nuanced) bottle, good acidity, somewhat rough texture, this one feels to be on the way down, the last still holding out, but this has a longer finish. Think light and not as acidic Madeira in style. 85

Old Malaga

Andalucia Malaga 1928-1933;
Dark brown, thin gold-green rim, lots of sediments. Oxidized, nuts, raisins, fat, citrus and orange peel. Good acidity, very mature, still going strong, cooked fruit, a bit short length and not too complex pulls down. 82
