1967 Krohn

[jdaw1]

Tony Carter arranged, and donated some of the bottles for, a splendid horizontal of 1967s at The Boot & Flogger. When the arranging started, Thursday 8th June 2017 seemed like an ordinary Thursday, but it became an election night.

20% opacity, brown-amber. Nose a bit stewed, raisined. Syrupy entry, but dry and extracted. Dried figs, citrus finish.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Pale red-gold colour, very light at only 20% opacity. A very unexpected nose, perhaps a bit stewed. Light entry, a touch simple with syrup but little fruit. Sweet and simple - could this have suffered light damage? Some sweet candied fruit does appear on the finish and has good persistence. 80/100. Decanted 7 hours.
