1980 Graham

Decanter #1: Dark colour, as dark as the Smith Woodhouse and the Warre. Tangy nose, plummy fruit. Actually nosing of an under-ripe crisp plum. To taste the same fruit as the nose, some heat, and chewy. Needs another 5+ years in the cellar.

My best guess was Taylor, though neither this nor Graham nor Dow would have surprised me.

Deep red, glowing colour with a centre that is just transparent. Nose is closed with some tones of orange over the heat. Hollow entry that thickens in the middle. Terrific mid-palate with lots of development and more and more oranges coming through. Length is good, but slightly short for perfection. Spicy start to the aftertaste, but this fades quickly. May be better with more time in the glass or decanter. 88/100.

My note:

A good crisp wine, which I noted as being not fully mature. Excellent future, but for the here and now, it only managed fourth place in my line-up.
