Oscar visited London, so the team sampled some VPs and some stuff described as ‟brown sticky stuff”. Some were served sighted, some were blind.

Ni68c bot ’79, brought by THRA standing in for RMW. I noted only ‟pineapple, soft, lovely”.

Bottled 1979. Pale honey colour, clear rim. Honey and faint golden syrup on the nose. Brown sugar impact but with a honey layer developing and dominating until a nice coffee tone appears. Very interesting palate. Fine aftertaste and a long finish. Delicate and balanced. 89/100.
