1977 Dow

Post by jdaw1 »

An emergency was declared for Monday 14th April 2025, at the Boot & Flogger.

A 1977 was proffered, so another was, so another was, and the planning attracted towards an evening of 1977s. This is good.

Watery rim, good colour.

Nose aldehydic, VA?

Finish ends short, just behind the incisors.

Corked.

Really quite terribly damaged port. Got very smelly quite quickly.

I learnt a lot from this bottle which is great from my stand point – however I did move on very quickly.
