D3 and not really a big sherried/wine cask/port/Madeira fan...but it has scored a F O U R

D3: Rich Dundee cake or a clootie dumpling. So much booze soaked mixed dried fruit to fail a breath test. Bitterness towards the finish but its countered by the figs making a return.....

D2 Palate: Budget range chocolate, christmas cake mix left on the spoon, ahhh bisto granules.

D1 scored a 2
Enough going on for a peat head to retain interest. #BlindDrams

D1 Palate. So much wet peat, feisty and fiery with it. Added a drop of water to calm it down revealing again the pineapple but now with lemons added. The peat edging through and dominating things once more at the finish. Sweeter than heaven, hot as hell #BlindDrams.
November 15, 2025 at 8:14 PM
D1 colour of white wine, very pale.
On the nose the antiseptic, tar element hits home, followed by chargrilled pineapple.
*Bit of a lag with this*
