Xmas Tutti Fruti - Ninth Bottle (A3), 25th-26th December 2017

It was unanimously decided that 2015's batch of Christmas Tutti Fruti was not as good as 2016's, despite having a whole year's extra maturation time. It is less fruity, less rounded, less interesting - just Less. This isn't to say it is poor, but it is many stops away from Special. Christmas was excellent, though, and Boxing Day spent as it should be - much sitting around followed by a walk with Sooz and Judith to Roundhay Park, circumference -ing the Lake and back again, where more booze awaited.
