Description

Nose
'darker', more chocolaty and more prune-y version of the 1972. A tad earthier as well, and a little more coffee-ish. Other than that, there's almost as much honey, PX, and even sandalwood.
Palate
Some parts are very lovely, especially the honey sauce, the pipe tobacco, the dried figs and prunes and dates and even bananas… But the oak got a little loud this time, making it a little drying. Cinnamon cake plus ground coffee plus strong tea.
Finish
medium, dry, and a little drying. More bitter chocolate and coffee.
