Not much on the nose - hot entry - fades to orange on the palate - some VA.

I guessed Croft 85. Not even close

[Alex Bridgeman]

Medium red, colour showing age; 50% opaque. Very empty on the nose, showing very little; some works releases a little milky coffee and raspberries. Coffee on the impact, sweet and balanced; lots of mandarins on the palate with a kumquat bitterness. Bitter kumquat finish, that morphs into a sweet black coffee. Absolutely delicious finish - pity about the nose. Guessed to be Dow 1977. 89/100.
