50% opacity, mature warm red, nice and clear. Dusty cherries on the nose. Smooth on the palate, faint hints of heat and very mild acidity in the finish. I guessed G70.

Cr70 = “AJH”: red, 40% opaque. Some spearmint in nose. Palate slightly acidic, red berries. Middling weight. Fell short in this company: alone it would have been liked plenty.
