The G77 being described as gentle is promising. I have hope yet that it will turn into a swan

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!
