Colour: gold. Nose: we’re not far from the Archives version, but this one’s even grassier, more austere, and mossier when undiluted. Hints of sour cream, tarragon, and chives. With water: earthier. A pile of dead leaves – from last year. Mouth (neat): Very tart and grassy. With water: gets sweeter, more bonbony. Lemon and orange drops, and less spices than in the 1995. Finish: medium, fruity, citrusy. Melon syrup.
