I used to purchase a bottle of the big names in every big vintage. 94, 95,
96, 01, 04, 05... wines like Marqués de Cáceres. The '96 I remember being a
very nice wine at a nice price. But from that year, I could not find
another great one.

I think I commented that Faustino I Gran Reserva 2001, which I purchased at
a supermarket a few months ago, was nice and good buy for the price (but I
did not buy more).
