Anyone who loves agricole and wants an orchard-fruit twist will find their thing here. The Calvados finish pushes hard toward apple — fresh, cooked, "pomme surie" — over a grassy, vegetal Savanna base with light wood and a touch of burnt sugar. It's rich and oily, cask strength at 61.4%, with the apple growing into the finish. One taster caught a bitterness up front worth knowing about.
The community says- Strong apple note
- Grassy agricole base
- But: High ABV heat

How does Savanna Créol - Calvados Finish 2007 taste?
Summarized by AI from 17 community reviews.
Apple-driven agricole with a strong Calvados finish Most love how the apple-forward Calvados finish sits over the grassy Savanna base without dominating. A couple found it hot or a little bitter early, and one shrugged it off as nothing special.

Had this one this one long time ago. With a friend. It was nice but really nothig special. Spicy. Some glue and apple. טעימה אצל חבר ממזמן שתיתי אותו. קשה לי לזכור אותו בצורה טובה זכור לי כרום בהיר. תפוחי. עשבוני. מתובלן. נחמד אבל אבל שום דבר מיוחד.
Review by cigares
Great Savanna tasting with Artur. A nose of tropical fruits and overripe yellow fruits, with apple, fermented and vegetal notes. The palate is rich with well-integrated wood, sour apple, tropical fruits and vegetal notes. The finish is rich, quite long with all the aromas present. Definitely a lot of apple here, the Calvados finish surely has something to do with it.
Review by Johannes
The Calvados finish comes through really well, but not too dominant.
Review by Righrum
A nice Savanna agricole, with a lot of calvados influence.There's a kind of bitterness at the beginning that ruins a bit the experience
Review by Kedyns1
Great apple note on the nose which intensifies even more on the finish. Rating raised. For me the best Savanna ever with Calvados
