a lot of them a past their prime but I’d assume some of them might actually be quite enjoyable, maybe even stunning 😅

Unbelievable. No temperature or humidity controls. Stood upright for how many years?
Trusting the wine you were drinking was in much better condition!

I had some older Faustino a few years ago. Those might still be okay. That ‘81 Lopez de Heredia with proper storage would still be good, too. A lot of those look improperly stored, but might surprise you.
The amount of amazing older bottles I had in Spain was pretty high, though it was mostly Rioja.

It’s very easy to get cheap Rioja from the 60s-70s in Spain, there’s a ton floating around from old restaurants closing with huge cellars.
I regularly buy some 30-45€ bottles and almost all of them have been great, as long as they’re pre 80’s alcohol/oak trends.

I sell Faustino and while these bottles may be toast due to the way they are being stored, old faustino is usually a safe bet when bought from somewhere with good provenance. We just imported like 3 bottles of 1955 gran reserva which id be eager to try, I had the 1964 two years ago and it was lovely.

Seen in an excellent wine bar in Tenerife.
So many banger bottles, so far past their prime.
