Decant: 6½ hours - Mid-orange colour; 30% opaque. A lovely nose, mature and full of spice. Perfect balance on entry ; mature, fruity and lively acidity with lots of redcurrant and tannins fully resolved. Medium bodied, slightly on the full side. Dry aftertaste; long, long finish that ends slightly sweet with bitter orange and dark chocolate. Fantastic balance. Vintage guessed to be 55, 55, 55, 60; shipper guessed to be Taylor, Dow, Graham and Graham. 88 points
