On Tuesday 11th October 2011, at the RAF Club, was held a ‘square’ tasting of {Dow, Fonseca, Graham, Taylor} × {1963, 1966, 1970, 1977}. Our honoured guest was Cynthia Jenson, official blogger to the Symingtons.

1977 Graham
Re: 1977 Graham
n77, lated identified as G77: red, 50% opaque. Gentle. Mid-weight. Not long. Red fruit.
Re: 1977 Graham
The G77 being described as gentle is promising. I have hope yet that it will turn into a swan

Re: 1977 Graham
Mid red colour, 60% opaque. Subdued on the nose, showing redcurrants and menthol. Gentle entry, with slight tannins and a mildly bitter entry; decent volumes of flavour but not showing a great balance. Dry on the finish, with plenty of fruit but a streak of cedar dominating over that. Served blind and guessed to be the Taylor. 83/100.
I think it has everything it needs to turn into a swan - except time in the bottle!
