1977 Sandeman
A pale reddish-gold in colour, 15% opaque. Astringent nose, lots of fruit but the fruit is very sour - rhubarb and green gooseberries. Soft palate entry, modest fruit but powerful acidity and even some gentle tannins on the mid-palate. Medium to light-bodied. Gentle aftertaste but good volume finish of great length. 86/100. Drunk 23-Apr-14.
