D77 (originally ‘VI’). Brick red, 30% opaque. Not right. Light, heat. But it improved in the glass, becoming rounder and better and sweeter.

50% opaque with a mature red-ochre colour. Fresh nose of gentle candied fruit. Nice balance on the palate with lots of sweet fruit supported by the clean acidity but with the tannins now dropped away. A lovely fragrant aftertaste before a powerful and impressive finish. This was really good and was guessed to be Dow 1966. 94/100.
