Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso è fruttato con frutti rossi dolci e tropicali, ma anche legno, cuoio e spezie rotonde. Al palato è morbido, cremoso e dolce con note di nocciole/gianduia, poi arriva anche il lato vegetale e legnoso in secondo piano insieme a pepe, qualche agrume e un po' di spezie. Dimostra più gradi di quelli che ha, una grande rotondità, ma il finale resta delicato e corto. È comunque una bevuta molto piacevole.

Rhum très agréble, frais et fruité.

Édit 84-80 note à la baisse Nez orange pamplemousse poivre blanc boisé Bouche : joli profil glouglou mais tombe assez vite même si l'épice reste, sucrosité et acidité,
Review by Godspeed
One of the smoothest agricoles I have ever tried at this ageing (4 years). The hallmark grassiness is like a gentle kiss closing off the flavor rather than being front and center. This is a pure sipping agricole through and through, it's smoothness and well-mannered flavor wave would be wasted in cocktails. At this price and ageing it's not just good, it's great. My first La Favorite and now I get what all the fuss is about.

Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Shared bottle with friends. Soft agricole smell. Citrus. Chamomille tea. Yellow fruits. Subtle. Nougat. Taste: first sweet then dry. Apricot. Guave. Hay. Passion fruit. All very subtle but tasty. The art is in the nuance. Not a powerhouse but a fine rum nonetheless.
Review by TheRhumhoe
An astonishingly sweet and gourmet rum, so much so that one might think the addition of sugar would soften the agricultural profile. Sugar cane is followed by candied, dried and tropical fruits that are opulent and expressive. Then come spicy notes of vanilla and cinnamon, toasted wood and a hint of walnut. A fine fragrance for the moment. The attack on the palate remains just as pleasant, with fruity notes of lemon and prunes, flavors of cane and pastry confections, spicy woodiness and hints of toasted toast. The thick, syrupy texture on the palate accentuates the gourmet sensation. The finish is relatively short, on prunes and citrus, caramel, spicy wood on vanilla and sugarcane. Perhaps the only real flaw in this tasty bottling. Despite this, this edition of Coeur de Canne remains a choice reference at a reasonable price for anyone wishing to discover the sweet, sexy side of agricultural rums.
Review by Lawich Lowaine
A fairly classic profile for young favorites. The woodiness is fairly controlled but also relatively linear.
Review by benoit burger
Very good rhum agricole. Despite being 4 years old, it's still very fruity and floral, and you can really taste the sugar cane.
Review by Barney
Alors que l'on ne s'attend pas un rhum aussi doux, on est surpris au goût ! Surtout après ce nez ! Je précise que je suis agréablement surpris. Une bonne dégustation, une bonne entrée chez la favorite.
Review by TheJackDrop
EDIT : dégusté lors de la masterclass La Favorite à Lille. Malheureusement je n'ai pas trouvé d'intérêt réel a cette cuvée. Heureusement que le fût de cognac (c'est un blend moitié moitié) ajoute un peu de fruits, sinon ce serait vraiment fade. Léger bois, vanille, un peu de fruits Léger bois cognac, un peu de canne, pomme/poire Finale canne douce, coing (photo, bouteille en arrière plan)
Review by Jacques etdom
Étonnement doux pour un 4 ans. Assez frais et léger, quelques agrumes , de la rondeur et une canne bien présente.
Review by Thefrenchagave
Un rhum qui est assez simple, le fût de cognac aide un peu dans son caractère. Sympa mais un classique, sans grande surprise. Des notes boisées légères, un profil accessible mais qui reste assez sage.
Review by Quentin Leseigneur
Un rhum plutôt jeune sur des marqueurs épicés. Il est préférable de ne pas le boire sec à mon avis.
