Graham--Vintage 1970
Embossed metal capsules, one slightly corroded in lot 127. Slightly bin-soiled labels and two damaged in lot 127. Levels into neck
Parcel: lots 123 to 126
Tasting note: The Graham family's last vintage. Originally (July 1972) opaque, still deep, plummy and fairly intense, showing rich extract; fragrant, high-toned yet harmonious bouquet though still a bit hard; very sweet, full-bodied, lots of fruit, grip, length, tannin and acidity. Chocolate and spice. Well over two dozen notes since 1982, all consistently good. In the mid-1990s, lovely, distinctive, very sweet. Equal top marks, Oporto-bottled, at Gidleigh Park, still with leathery tannins. A well-balanced wine needing more time! MB.
