Thanks for the sample @LeeEvolved! Right out of the gate, the drive-by nose was pleasant. Port and peat was forward in a nice way to me, mixed with the sherry. this dram takes a ton of time, like Lee stated, so I gave it 45 minutes to open. The palate is great on impact, but leaves also in an instant. Plums, black currants, purple gumdrops, mixed with the peat. If fino sherry is in here, that explains the dry acidity. This heavy grape finish dissipates so fast, that it's too much of a tease. Medium mouth coat, but too damn dry and salty. 3.75 for me. The finish builds up enough character to enjoy, but you have to drink a lot of it, and spend a ton of time with it. Therefore, the theme should be "Time" by Pink Floyd.

@LeeEvolved since it takes a ton to enjoy, maybe it's good you have a lot of it ;)
