Official Tasting note for reference:

Nose:
Starts with subtle whiffs of upholstery, furniture polish, old cigars, cedar wood, and the usual suspects, figs and dates. Then we’d rather find praline, pistachio marzipan, and lovely earthy tones, touches of humus, little mushrooms…

Mouth:
This is a softer one after the 1975, but it’s also very citrusy and tropical.
Amazing notes of blood oranges, pink grapefruits, and small guavas. Guavas can be restless and mischievous fruits. Goes on with lemon and orange honeys, and a drop of chartreuse plus a little mint liqueur, possibly from the wood. Impeccable.

Finish:
Long, with some mead and a little ginger. Caramelised oranges and peppermint in the afftertaste.
