Imperial Tinto 1966

Imperial is one of the fine cellars owned by Compania Vinicola del Norte de Espania (CVNE), with it's stand-alone facilities located in CVNE's original winery.  As a range, Imperial Rioja was first bottled in the 1920s and took its name from the unique bottle size in which the wine was sold - Imperial Pints for the UK market.

Grapes are sourced from selected vineyards which keep their average vine age in excess of 20 years and exclusively from the Rioja Alta subregion thus giving the wine a full character influenced by the cool breezes of the Atlantic Ocean.

This 1966 vintage is likely to be a typical Rioja blend dominated by Tempranillo (about 85%) with some Garnacha (10-15%) and possibly a small volume of Mazuelo (to 5%).

Stock Medicinal Brandy 1 Litre 1970s

In the latter part of the 19th and early 20th centuries, brandy was considered medicinal. Primarily it was used as a cardiac stimulant as it appeared to increase cardiac output and blood pressure. However it was also recognised as a depressant and was used as a sedative. Reconciling these two actions caused difficulties... which is why it is no longer cosidered medicinal. 

This was produced in Italy we estimate around the 1970s or perhaps 1960s.
