On Tuesday 30^th December 2014 some obvious suspects gathered in our former home, The Bung Hole, because Dr Dirk was in town.

Avery 1963. Bright red, 40%ish opaque. Mature, with plenty of fruit. Acidity too prominent to be perfect. Good size early- and mid-palate; ending small.

Later I noted liquorice, mixed fruit, sweetness. Sweet, and good length and size. It had improved in the glass.

I mis-guessed this to be Sandeman, so was given ½ point for it being half Sandeman.
