Christopher reported that no bottler could be identified.

Graham 1966. Very evolved appearance, much paler than its contemporaries at this tasting; pale bronze, 20% opaque. Despite the light colour, the nose is full of bright fruit. Sweet and lightly flavoured on impact but grows in volume on the palate. A little heat on the aftertaste leads to a long, persistent and delicious brown sugar and rhubarb finish. 90/100. Tasted 23-Jul-2024.
