G00, opened 22:15, decanted at 09:30. Dark dark red, 80% opaque. Mid weight, loverly dark fruit, great balance. Not super old bones in it, but in a great state right now.
Graham 2000. Dark red colour with a wide rim. Restrained on the nose but bringing some sweet fruit on the palate - although a little closed and unbalanced with the fruit very sweet and only a trace of the tannins which would be desired to match the sweetness. Perfectly pleasant on the palate, but the tannins only really start showing themselves on the finish. In a closed phase, but with enough patience this wine will be rather lovely. 88/100. Opened and Audouzed at 22.15, double decanted at 09.30 and tasted at 20.05.

G00. Medium dark red and garnet. Nose seems reticent. Fruity palate but seems somewhat simple; might still be closed down? Good tannins for a long life. Check back in 5 years to see if it has opened up. 92 points.
