The OLD Wine Case 
The wine merchant would have been Moreno. They’ve recently launched a website…
Thanks so much for identifying the merchant for me. I thought I’d never find it again!
I checked their website, and they do have a lot of fine old Spanish wines. I’ll keep that address.
I drank a 1978 Reserva Gran Coronas (now know as Mas La Plana) in August 2008 and the wine was really amazing. One of those lovely, completely resolved wines. Truly remarkable and a unique wine tasting experience.
John, I think the expression “completely resolved” is right on target. It does describe how this one seems so well-defined. Thank you for your comment.
