Donated by JDAW via the THRA Adoption Society: Spirity nose. Beautiful mature red colour with a lovely thick texture and quite dry on the palate. Long finish of boiled sweets. I guessed Dow 1966.

Cr70, adopted by JDAW from THRA.

Red, brown at rim, 50% opaque. Nosing of red fruit, some heat, red fruit. Hot. Strawberry, large and rich. Quite short fades fast.

Guesses: Dow ’66; unknown (correct!) ’70; Gould Campbell ’70; Warre ’55.
