Review by Morgan Garet
Nose of glue, spices and cask. The palate is much more gourmand, very fruity, with beautiful notes of caramel, sugar in various forms, and sweet spices. Citrus fruits take on an increasingly important role as the tasting progresses. Vanilla, caramel and spices accompany citrus on a long finish.
Review by Matthieu L
Fine, elegant, fruity
Review by Mc Pirate
Très belle couleur, nez poudre à cannon très prononcé, rondeur résiduelle. Bouche sèche, très équilibrée, acidulée qui finit sur le caramel, très agréable ! Finale chaude
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
One of 6 samples I brought for a trip to Turkey. From the first go, this didn't register with me as an agricole in the nose. Vanilla, and a faint, grassy sweetness. In the notes I got sugarcane, vanilla and woody notes
Review by Djehey
Profil agricole classique. On sent bien la canne fraîche avec ses agrumes et ses herbes. Se superpose un boisé léger. Manque de profondeur. Pas super fan pour ma part. Je le trouve un peu cher. Il semble limite plus jeune que l'Expression.
Review by El Peludo
Pleasant nose, well-integrated alcohol. Pairs well with clementine. Light oak, medium complexity. Chocolate, leather, nuts, vanilla on the palate. On the nose, vanilla, damp wood, chocolate. Unfavorable RQP due to small production. Short finish. Well done, but lacks something to sublimate.
Review by Nicolas Sicilia
Le nez assez léger une pointe de colle et d’alcool, des épices et la vanille apportes par le fut. En bouche un rancio bien présent. Assez alcooleux j’ai trouvé !
