East Coast beauty, first G I've had from NZ. Way better than the other two s. hemispheres, that I've tried, and a fine attempt at the "real" thing. Bites if too cold, but gently warming in the glass it give off peach/ honey /apricot aromas. Unmistakable. Would not pay £10 though.

Update...Has improved having been opened for an hour or so. Lost some of the slightly overpowering intensity. Really very nice now.

Was that an in store price ? Or online only. I'd only want a few - not 6.

It was in store. I was after some of the TF which was reduced and just happened to notice this. Weren't many there, and I only grabbed the one. None on the website. Suspect they were clearing out for the new vintage.

Yerrsrrsrsrs - I thought so. Infact you've been picking off a load of interesting straggellers and odd bits and pieces recently - Haven't you ! I do check on the bargains you've written about - And - can never find them on those prices. You've been scoring well.

I'd say you have been winning the "finders keepers bargey bin ends" recently - whilst GK, who has said nothing about Homewares Bargains is off sick with a mighty projectile and heaving bug.

Bristol is big enough and an interestig city - the only downside is that your arms are dropping off by the time you get them back to your lair. If you hunt around with a car, any saving is blown away by petrol and parking.
Am I right Ba ?

Enjoy them Ba.

Sorry Dunc, have been ignoring you for 10 months. The only regular time that I pay to park is at the library, 40 mins for a quid and good value. I am extremely lazy and so need to be extremely efficient. I don't "go shopping" or "go for petrol" etc. I do loops and combine things. I also try as many new wines as poss. I arrived here as I have been given an '09 as a gift.
