A friend of mine was in Portugal and surprised me with a 2000 Van Zeller Colheita. The label does not say when bottled.

Roy,
Have you ever had such an old crusted? I'm curious and fascinated.

I've had some mixed experiences with the Roeda. Hopefully yours shows decently.

Having had the 1966 together not long ago, do you prefer it, or the 1970 Warre's overall?

id rather have a good showing of the '63 or 70. As The '66 was in line, or just a tad behind the '70 IMO. But for the price difference between the two, why pay substantially more for the '66.
