(Bottle 231/850) Rich dark enwith the lightest hint of garnet rim. Savoury dark nose, brand's chicken essence, chook poo, wet forest floor, fresh moss and lifted wood spices. Bright acidity, congruently savoury, intense and light at the same time. Juicy, clean, effortless with typical peacocks' tail. Finished the bottle in a sitting (oops), but absolutely rewarding. No signs of flagging, youthful with increasing complexity. Enjoyable!

(58%, small cask aged, cask strength, Barrel 152, bottled 2012, Port Cask, signed William Lark) Dark amber in glass, almost cherry. Crunchy crushed candy, elegant wood spices, christmas gluwein, definite bite, but oh so attractive and inviting and warm. Layered, oily, yet sweet and clean at the same time. Still amazing after all these years, absolutely consistent and enjoyable. Remarkable dram. Watering exposes bright and clean mushrooms, fresh buttery croissant flakey goodness on the nose. Sweeter, crystalline, lighter, but absolutely still intact and in control. Warm spices. Some savoury edges now, with warm tone-woods (koa?) and airy-ness. Stroopwafel! Wow.
