Nose: a much huger fruitiness in this one, and a very elegant woodiness, probably a little bigger than in the 1939 – but this is older. Goes on with notes of ripe bananas, pollen, nutmeg and all sorts of flowers, mainly yellow ones (dandelions and such). More exuberant but less subtle. Mouth: quite tannic just like the 1939 but below the limits and globally different, more on candy sugar, black tea and hints of peat, especially at the rather long finish. Again, excellent, not tired at all, fruitier but maybe just a tad less subtle than the 1939.
