Overall
Score
8.9
Nose
Soft. Light sherry. It's like a box of spent matches next to a slumbering peat fire.
Palate
Sweet, almost oily, start then comes a lovely interplay between pulpy fruit and dry sooty smoke.
Finish
Very long. Smoky chimney.
Comment
Slightly sweeter than the 1977 but equally good. The sulphury note lets it down.
