Colour: straw. Nose: ah yes, we have a typical old bottle effect here. Something slightly metallic and mineral, grapefruit juice and a little passion fruit, praline and caramel… Goes on with orange juice, lemon pie, pastries and then something minty and slightly resinous. Hints of smoked meat… Complex and pleasant. Mouth: simpler and more tea-ish, alas, but the mouth feel is good. Maybe a tad sugarish but other than that we have nice quince, oranges, cereals, cake… And a rather short but nicely minty finish. Good.
