1977 Graham

Post by SCP »

Unknown storage conditions. Double-decanted and then tasted 6 hours and 30 hours later.

Minimal opacity and faded colour to a mid-orange, not promising.

6 hours in: Short entry, dominated by spirit and tobacco taste. Drinkable, but not much liked.

30 hours in: much better, gained some hints of red colour and taste of autumn red fruit, much less spirity. Good but nowhere near as good as a couple of others I’ve had.

A further two days later the small remainder had fallen apart and was undrinkable.
