"When the '70 Graham's is spot on, it is one of my all-time favorites by this illustrious Shipper. This bottle delivered in spades! It's a 36 year old gem that just keeps getting better with every sample I get to try. I don't open my bottles yet, as I think the upside here is well worth the wait, but I love it and this example is showing a bright and youthful ruby color with no bricking. The '70 is a complete VP and pretty close to perfection even at this point. All components are in synch with a lovely and sexy nose lead by fresh flowers, spice and boysenberry with finely knit subdued tannins only noticeable late in the game. The symmetry here is remarkable and the flavors and finish meld into one fine, sumptuous swallow. A long life is still ahead for this exemplary Graham's . . ."
