Lying in Hertfordshire Gould Campbell--Vintage 1977 Enormously impressive at two tastings in Nov 1979 and certainly one of my favourite 77s: very deep, red-black centre, purple rim. Despite appearance, a sweet, easy, attractive wine on nose and palate. Not tasted again until 1990 in the Symington tasting room at Vila Nova de Gaia. Still notably deep, purple, intense; low-keyed nose with a strange scent that reminded me of bacon rind. Very sweet, but lean with a dry finish. Only one bottle since. Though still surprisingly youthful looking in its 20th year, less sweet and, I thought, lacking flesh. Still very deep with opaque core; muffled fruit, touch of honey; very sweet, attractive, piquant, dry finish. M.B. 1 dozen bottles per dozen
