Decant: 6 hours - Adrian Bridge advised that the artificial alcohol scandal did not affect the 1972 FG. Pale orange, almost pale green on the rim; 20% opaque. Simple on the nose, showing candy and earth. Some sweet orange candy, simple and straightforward. Pleasant balance. Some heat on swallowing, then a pleasant Haliborange finish of surprising concentration and length before fading to leave a sweet impression. 82 points
