Tom,
I would like to buy a similar bottle, and then shadow what you say. Dont worry, I'm not a stalker, I'm just not very good explaining what I'm drinking. I like the stuff, but cant quite grasp the subtlties. I've found a few places that sell it for around £37 a bottle. Does that sound right?Thats within my price range, as long as I'm not drinking it every night! I would drink a glass, see what I thought and then read your more experienced thoughts, and then try it again to see if I can see what you'd said.

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
