30% opacity, light brick red. Medium body, dry, mild acidity.

Very pale rose colour, 10% opaque. Nothing on the nose at first but a swirl releases a little dirty, bruised red cherry. Simple on entry, a little sweeter than the '72. Some tannins show with air but the aftertaste is fragrant and full of cherry fruit with dry cheeks from the tannins. 83/100. Decanted 5½ hours.
