TH47, decanted 13:30. Believed to be my first taste of TH47.

Orange, 20% opaque. Nose dry, with orange citrus. Palate light, dry, soft, but rather bland.

Dark orange. Nose of apricots. Tasted of dried apricots and, later, fig syrup. Delicious.

25% opacity, tan-amber. Lovely rich nose, vanilla, grapefruit. Soft and silky, light, sweet grapefruit.
