An afternoon and evening watching #rugby and a scintillating game between #Scotland and #France. Not so much #Wales v #England - but it has improved.
Unlike poor Ben Healy of Scotland, who received "man of the match" and has to make do with a large bottle of Grouse, I have something way better to sip on.
Lindores Abbey, Casks of Lindores Sherry Butts. 49.4% abv, NAS, NC, NCF
Christmassy, boozy, dried fruit and oaky vanilla on the nose. Sweet, sticky currants, figs and dates hit the palate - reminds me of my mum's Black Bun at New Year. Hints of chocolate and liquorice allsorts. Spicy prunes and cinnamon give a nice long, warming finish. Great stuff.
Lots to be cheerful about - great come-back and win by Scotland, my local team Heart of Midlothian sit at the top of the table alongside Celtic (admittedly only the first game), Rangers sit at the foot propping everyone up and I am sipping a superb dram. Happy Days
