14th June 2022. Cabin C-234 on Britannia while awaiting to sail away from La Coruna. 500ml bottle; BBE May 2023, bought from Bitter Virtue (Southampton) to drink on the cruise. Clean golden body, white topping. Grainy front to the nose and taste, some mild citrus and floral notes in there too. Pleasant enough without getting me excited.
