Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh, vibrant and clean. Pine/forest floor, tangerine zest. Becomes sweeter and more chocolatey in time.

Palate

Light and fresh with a tingle akin to hot sand. A bleached maritime feel to start though it sweetens as it opens.

Finish

Dry, tingling.

Comment

Lighter and more lean than the '73.
