Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
yes! This one is rounder, softer, better polished, and reminds me more of the very excellent 1984 Liquid Sun than of the other 1975s. We're actually having a kind of blend of all things honeyed (comb, nectar, beehive wood...) with the same kinds of chalky notes as in the others, plus these orchard fruits, first apples as almost always. Now this is a nice nose!
restaurant Palate
it's simply zestier than the other 1975s, and I enjoy that. Oranges join the apples again, marmalade, herbs and spices from the oak, honeys and honeydews... And maybe these green bananas again?
timer Finish
long, oakier and spicier, but maybe a notch less green and biting, maybe thanks to a higher dose of good old American vanillin
