1980 Graham's Vintage Port

[Luc Gauthier]

Had a Grahams '80 at my father in laws B-day
Upon reaching the cork , the sides of the bottle were crusty .
The top of the cork had a greenish substance ( mouldy ) .
My heart sank . . .
Decanted at noon .
Susprisingly very little tannins .
Very little change , except for a dark burgandy .
At eight p.m. , seemed to open up ( sweet odor )
I now see that 1980 VP's can be hit an miss
