Graham 1991. A mature rose red colour, 50% opaque. Surprising on the nose — salad leaves and cranberries, really savoury and meaty. Sweet fruit, a little flabby on the palate with limited acidity and tannins which are barely visible withing the sweet and jammy fruit. The finish is good; being persistent blackcurrant. 85/100. Audouzed the night before the tasting, double decanted at 06.30 and tasted at 19.50. Tasted on 14-May-2024.

G91. Medium red with some garnet tones. The nose is mostly sweet strawberry with some rich grape. The palate is smooth and rich, though somewhat simple. Some chocolate and good tannins, but could use a little more acidity to get into better balance. 92 points.
