Richard Mayson: More pinkish in hue than the Taylor, if very slightly paler; rich, classic extra-dark chocolate character (80% cocoa solids!) on both nose and palate, very sweet and opulent in the Graham style, full and smooth, with broad, ripe tannins building on to a towering finish. Continuing full and broad. An underappreciated classic, as good as anything from 1963 or 1966. This will last a lifetime! 19
