Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

Speculative Chrissie drinks auction win, all probably 30 - 40 years old?
Pasha Coffee liqueur (bought for the bottles as much as anything) is a winner! Relieved not to see a Bailey's like dairy product. If the coffee flavour has waned then it would have blown my head off when young.😲
Danziger Gold Wasser is brilliant, almost butterscotch with herbal overtones.
Looking forward to a cheque from SA Water for my more valuable contributions. 🤑💩
My non drinking friend loves them both, amazing!
Yet to try the Millefiori ... tempted but a bit early😇

Update.😛
Millefiori is very moreish like a dialled down Limoncello? 1 litre.🥳🥴
Gold Wasser herbals get a bit much after the first glass & that's OK.
Pasha Coffee though is bloody delicious. Especially if it's 40-50 years old!
Bought for the bottles really, amazed by the contents, even if Barbara Eden didn't emerge.🧞‍♀️

Purchased during the CD sale last year, finally got to open a bottle. Strangely the cork broke which is unusual for such a young and supposedly premium wine. Maybe it was stored vertically. The wine itself is fine, easy drinking but feels too simple. When someone pay $85 they’d expect some complexity. Can’t complain for the price I’ve paid but also can’t recommend it.

No cork problem here and I found the wine quite good for a quaffer with thanks to @Whining&dining for the gift

You've now got me dreaming of Jeannie.
 
Pre-empting my evening, I have the champagne sorted but which of these reds should I open? Holiday barbecue at a friend’s house, warmish evening but not too hot….is The Lear too young at 2019? Thinking the Clarendon Hills too risky to take as it is under cork.
