Double decanted at 07:45.
(notes for Glenn :
Decanted from bottle into decanter through single piece of sterile gauze;
Decanted from decanter back into bottle just using funnel)
Smells lovely.

30% opacity, mature red-orange. Nose has a little TCA. Shame about the TCA as the palate has lovely chewy strawberries.

Remarkably dark colour for age. Nose more than a bit off though. Nasty. Hot on palate. Off, alas.

Re: 1955 Croft
TCA spoiled nose, TCA spoiled palate. Horrible.
