Deep, almost crimson colour, astonishing for its age. A real floral/violets scent, lingering and alluring. A phenomenal contrast to the style of 1966. Cherries and liquorice on the nose too. All-enveloping, highly black liquorice taste. Great concentration and body on the palate. Alcoholic dates! Sweet/ripe maraschino cherries at the end. Tastes younger than the 1977! I see a comparison with the 1997 - a hot year and superb wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
