1994 Graham's VP
Posted: 22:47 Sat 08 Mar 2008
Opened at a Dim Sum restaurant somewhare in Chinatown with G-Man and G-Woman. It was cloudy so out came Julian's trusty funnel and filters, which worked a treat.
Considering that ths was directly out of the bottle it was amazing stuff. reaally very dark but clear, nose was very muted but that is not surprising. In the mouth it was very sweet with a glut of cherries, giving the classic Graham's profile. No massive tannic aftertaste until sipped directly after the beef noodles. Some cassis notes as well but smooth and delicious. I suspect that this is an early drinker but will give decades of enjoyment up until it is around 40 maybe50, can't see it having the legs after that.
Just gong to try some more and will finish it with Board-O tonight.
