Riveyrac Rivesaltes 1970 | Winedoctor Weekend Wine: I head off-piste this week, for one of France's long-forgotten vin doux naturel treasures, Rivesaltes, with a bottle of the 1970 Rivesaltes from Riveyrac.

Read my Weekend Wine report, which touches on the origins of Spain, the construction of a 15th-century fortress, and Rivesaltes from Riveyrac.

Staying with old friends in the UK.
Lovely dinner, with copious wine, incl this number. Bulletproof ageless style which was fudgey, smooth, figgy and still lively. Such a shame this kind of style is largely unappreciated. A real treat.
