1983 Graham

[Alex Bridgeman]

Mature red colour, 80% opaque. Surprisingly empty on the nose showing only a little sour fruit. But soft and sweet fruit all over the palate, with lots of brown sugar balanced by sharp, sour cherries and gentle tannins. Surprisingly sharp on the palate. A big burst of heat on the aftertaste from the pronounced acidity that gives a clean, fresh finish. 87/100. Drunk 24-Apr-14 at BFT5.
