Tony Carter arranged, and donated some of the bottles for, a splendid horizontal of 1967s at The Boot & Flogger. When the arranging started, Thursday 8th June 2017 seemed like an ordinary Thursday, but it became an election night.

Score: 87

30% opacity, warm red, copper rim. Mid weight, some tannins mid to late palate. Dryness and dried fruits, raisins, hints of leather.

Buised cherry red with an orange rim; 50% opaque. A lovely developed nose, led by fat oranges and even fatter rose hips. Sweet flowers perfume the cocktail-cherry entry, preceding a delicate and elegant palate which has great layering and development. Some heat shows on the aftertaste, then a very fine, dry but fruit-led cocktail-cherry finish of great length takes over. Nicely balanced. 90/100. Decanted 6 hours.
