Cr94: dark dark red, 70% opaque. No.

Note - apparently bottle was labelled "Symingtons" rather than Quarles Harris, which previous bottles may have been?

50%+ opaque with some slight browning to rim. Nose already mature and not very appealing. Palate better than nose, but only just. Would have been sold to buy & drink immediately, so possibly not a surprise that this is past it. 4/7.
