Looks like the angels have been greedy here. We're also out of the comfort zone at 31 years, but let's see… Colour: light gold. Nose: age indeed, evolution, softening… It is, in truth, a little worrying at first, but many smaller, tertiary aromas are starting to appear, mead, encaustic, pine needles, old wardrobe, syrups and cordials from the 1970s, then we have apple pie, that famous tarte tatin, quinces, lamp oil, balms and polishes… Well it'll all happen on the palate anyway. Or not… Mouth: frightening for a second (tea, cardboard) but everything's falling into place then, mead, waxes, overripe apples… But it's lost the citrus over the years and becomes a tad fragile again around the middle. Just a tad. Finish: not very long, rather on apple peel and old honeyed cordials. Stuff that monks used to make to convince non-believers. Right. Some rhubarb in the aftertaste, which is perfect as it lifts it like when Tom Cruise almost hit the mountain with his plane. Right, that's the only comparison I could come up with, but it works with James Bond too. Comments: simply another fantastic one.
