Member Ratings and Notes

Chris

N: Hugely peaty, it stinks from cross the room. Not getting any port on the nose, which to me is a good thing.
P: Thankfully the peat is more subdued on the palate, well balanced for being so young.
F: More of the same.
Got some potential here, looking forward to tasting the progress.

Adam

Nose is an attack of smokey peat. Palate is massively peaty/smokey, with the smoke tending towards the campfire variety. Tasty and butt-kicking, though quite one-dimensional. There's enough sweetness to balance this out (relatively) for an enjoyable but challenging experience.

Andy

Bathwater and spearment. Strong peat nose, weakly peaty taste. The port is hard to find.
