Beautiful deep vibrant red. Intense, harmonious nose with fruit expression. The palate is seductively sappy with noble tannins and pleasant harmony even though the finish is still under the influence of oak.
...I would agree with this...

Waitrose opened its first branch in Kent at Allington Park, near Maidstone on 28th May 1970.
It is the largest supermarket the partnership has opened at 11,400 sq feet. (Slough is larger now having been extended since it opened.)
Allington Park is about one and a half miles from the centre of Maidstone on the London Road and on the outskirts of the town. The Waitrose supermarket is in the mid-Kent shopping centre which is very similar in layout to the shopping centre at Tilehurst. Waitrose is the first shop to open. There are another nineteen retail units, though some retailers may take a double unit. Scheduled to open so far are a bank, butcher, chemist, ladies hairdresser , newsagent and a restaurant.
The shopping centre has a car park for some 250 cars. There is every hope it will be well filled as the town centre of Maidstone has poor parking facilities for shoppers.
Allington Park seemed to us to be Waitrose’s finest supermarket yet – bright, spacious and with longer than usual runs of fixtures that give the shop the appearance of being well stocked with a vast range of merchandise.
Because of the sloping site the bulk storage area, offices and Partners Dining Room are downstairs, but the offices and dining room have normal daylight from windows. The preparation rooms are on the ground floor behind the selling area. There is no upstairs.
On opening day the shop did not appear to be exceptionally busy yet when a check was made at mid-day it was found to have taken more money than any other Waitrose supermarket at such a stage in its existence – though this may have been helped a bit by opening on Thursday rather than the usual Tuesday. Thursday was chosen as opening day because of the Bank Holiday (deliveries which could not be made on a Monday ready for a Tuesday opening) and Wednesday is the half day.
The Branch is staffed by 105 Partners plus 35 weekenders.

London Country/NBC-liveried SNB 449 (a 'Series B' - ie 'podless' - National 1, I think) arrives at the stop by Waitrose in Beaconsfield. RF 600 takes a break in between journeys to Taplow.
Beaconsfield running day.

Since the start of the pandemic changed life for us all, many people have switched to online ordering and delivery of lots of life’s essentials. Trying to place an order is the first hurdle as at many times throughout the day, the supermarkets websites are overloaded with customers trying to access the pages of groceries etc to choose what they want. Most times you join a “queue” that notifies you how many customers are ahead of you and the estimated time of your wait, ranging from ten minutes or so up to an hour at popular times of day.
Once you have gained access, the next scramble is for a delivery slot which can be several weeks away and at times ranging from 6am to midnight!
Slot chosen, order completed, payment made, all you have to do is sit back and wait.........!
This delivery van from Waitrose is a typical example of the ones that virtually all the supermarkets use. Each Van also has a freezer section for the goods that need it.
