Tasting Notes:

“Colour: deep gold. Nose: incense, sandalwood, orange cake, the jury’s still out. Mind you, nearly 63% vol. With water: shoe polish, ski wax (I’m aware it’s not the season), almond oil. Mouth (neat): call me Suzy. Varnish and preserved apricot juice. With water: right, this is a simpler version of TDL, certainly top-notch, though a touch more rustic. But it’s got passion fruit! Finish: indeed. Comments: another brilliant drop, but the 2002 was something out of this world. A touch of a death seat effect, perhaps.”
