Colour: gold. Nose: very grassy and actually quite silent. Leaves, green tea and cut grass, then more herb and flowers such as a little patchouli, and then a little tar and motor oil, maybe from bottle ageing. Also moss and fern. Mouth: light, herbal and a notch too caramelly, as often with these old bottlings by G&M at very low strength. Walnuts and apple peelings, with little fruits and almost no sweetness, to the point where it starts to resemble some kind of manzanilla, with even a saltiness in the background. Leathery, becomes peppery. Finish: unexpectedly long, now on coffee and dry tea. French beans. It’s only in the aftertaste that a faint fruitiness becomes apparent
