1970 Dow

[Alex Bridgeman]

Clear, rose coloured rim; 30% opaque. Vibrant fruit on the nose, youthful and attractive with lots of cranberry and mint. Sweet and concentrated fruit on the palate, medium bodied and thickly textured. Hot aftertaste, with an herbaceous tone, before a long and tasty finish. Served blind, I guessed this to be Taylor 1985. 88/100. Drunk 04-Sep-12.
