Re: 1978 Quarles Harris LBV
Brown, burnt fudge colour. Not so much ditchwater brown as Christmas cake brown. 2D chocolate current juice, the finish saying hello to the fully oxidised fluffy caramel era. A lot of oomph, albeit indicative of erstwhile greatness.

Re: 1979 Warre LBV
Soft, broad, plummy & creamy. Classic Warre brooding blue/red fruit, but not muted as it sometimes can be. Juicy cherry buns. Charming length and fruit complexity. So good.

Re: 1984 Smith Woodhouse LBV
That featherweight, clean, electric glossiness. Still good hints of maraschino and apricot, finish only just starting to peter out but overall still holding together. Excellent fun. A lot of vibrancy if not weight.

Re: 1995 Delaforce LBV
Minty brambles and damp hedgerow, very dry. By the end of the night became a muggy but pleasant drink, the brooding closed fruit showing itself a little more. Good heft to the palate.

I don’t have bottles meeting specification (oldest are Warre 2004, 2007, 2008). So please waitlist me, and if it doesn’t fill then I’ll adopt.
