A rich crimson.
In the mouth - oh, that's lovely. Cherryade. Cherry stones. Broad. Sweet. Cherries. Compelling wine.

Re: 1963 Constantino
I am sad that Constantino is no longer made, mostly because of their beautiful labels with the capricious typography and ligatures!

Re: 1963 Constantino
Mature red colour, 60% opaque. Intense tobacco nose, wonderfully big. Beautiful balance on entry, blending mature fruit with intense acidity giving a fabulous brightness to the wine. Big and complex aftertaste, blending fruit and cinnamon. Absolutely wonderful wine. 96/100. Decanted 22 hours. Bottle from my cellar. Drunk 31-Aug-21.
