25% copacity, amber red. Drying citrus notes - oranges. Smooth, rich, syrupy mouthfeel. Dried oranges. Very nice.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Opened at 21.00 and decanted at 04.30. Mature copper red colour, 30% opaque. Vivacious nose, rich and full of mature fruit; very lovely. Lightly flavoured palate, disappointing with its lack of intensity compared to the nose. Gentle, sweet but not showing much fruit. Dry aftertaste and a limited finish. This is an elderly wine which is drying out. Served blind, this was guessed to be Graham Malvedos 1967. 86/100. Decanted 16 hours.
