Didn’t Berlusconi get into a bit of bother over a 17 year old?Quote:

Looks interesting, Tony. Is it peaty - smooth or fiery? What type of casks was it distilled in? If it's too peaty, it unfortunately won't be my thing. If you could describe the taste, that would be useful:)
Marco.
Not peaty at all. Bourbon & oloroso casks I believe.
Smooth as......[emoji4]
I believe it is right up your street Marco.
Quite fruity, peaches and kiwi according to the distillery but also butterscotch and vanilla in there.
Taste just develops in the glass, teaspoon of water and about 10 minutes sitting really brings out the flavours.

Just a heads up for red wine lovers... Just enjoyed this with tonight's dinner (some grilled lamb cutlets), and it's without doubt the nicest Greek red wine I've ever had; in fact is up there with some of the nicest wines I've had, period!

Made from Aghiorghitiko grapes, indigenous to Greece, it however, for all intents and purposes, tastes like a good Médoc, such are the deep, rich earthy flavours it imparts on the palate, but with a hint of spice, juicy blackcurrant and rich damson fruits, exhibiting good 'length' and acidity, which makes it an ideal partner for all red meats and mature cheeses.
Honestly, it's a stonker! Plus, at a round a tenner a bottle, superb value for this type of quality, which had it come from the Bordeaux region of France, would've cost at least twice that amount. Why not treat yourself to some over the festive period!:cheers:

I got it from Tanners in Chester, but can also be ordered online here: https://www.houseofwine.gr/how/intl/...rce=vivino-ppc

That reminded me of Bill Murray's part in 'Lost in Translation'.
We were laughing about that earlier! [emoji4]Quote:

I also tried a 12 year old Jura over the holidays, and that is another I am thinking of getting. That or the 18 year old....
I think the minimum age of whisky I will buy from now on, is 12 years. Anything younger seems a bit on the firey side, almost untamed.
Currently enjoying a ‘themed’ birthday. They know me so well. [emoji4][emoji106]
