G70, decanted 11:00. Dark dark red, 70% opaque. Graham showing wonderfully: big (me like big), very very sweet, and with extraordinary length. My WOTN, trailed by Dow.

Decanted 9 hours, 50% opacity, warm red. Cherries and toffee on the nose. Gentle heat along the palate, soft cherries, slightly spiritous on the finish.
