Graham--Vintage 1970 Bottled by Grants of St. James's. Embossed plastic capsules. Bin-soiled and glue-stained labels. Levels base of neck or better 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. Coping miraculously at a Zachys/Christie's charity dinner with chocolate soufflé. Showing well at the Primum Familiae Vini dinner at Vinopolis in November 2000. A superb bottle at a dinner party at home, May 2001. Most recently: soft tawny-red; gloriously fragrant and flowery; complete, excellent. Last noted at the Symington tasting, May 2002 ***** Now - 2020 M.B. 12 bottles per lot
