1977 Sandeman

[jdaw1]

An emergency was declared for Monday 14^th 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.

A 12bt OWC from WineOwners in March 2020.
Decanted 0815-0830 on morning of the tasting. In decanter for approximately seven hours before going back into the bottle.
Capsule pretty good and hiding some old (?) seepage. Cork a bit loose but otherwise all good.

Lighter end of the colour spectrum, 30% opaque. Lighter end of the spectrum of taste too, with an odd note of lemon or lemonade.

It became clear that this was lightly corked.
