Review by Mentalo
Schöne Kräuternote bei relativ wenig Holz. Harmoniert gut mit der Honigsüße. Alkohol ist top eingebunden.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Eleganter, leichtfüßiger PM 97. Die 50% sind perfekt getroffen für mich. Dadurch lässt sich der Rum super trinken trotz des Tiefgangs. Ich bin sonst kein Fan dieser Kräuter-Profile, aber hier kommt eine schöne Honig Süße hinzu. Abgang relativ kurz.
Review by Johannes
Typisches kräutrig-fruchtiges 97er-Profil. Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden. Macht Spaß für Liebhaber dieses Profils.
Review by DomM
The colour of the V&M is noticeable darker compared to the very pail continental TRC (only one year younger) and CC 97 PMs. (Still nowhere near the tropical Velier and ED 97, however). On the nose this one is also quite a bit ahead of the other two. More intense fruit notes, less alcohol and over all more balanced and complex. Might well be the best 97 PM (continental) nose I had so far.
Review by Alex1981
Toller PM Guyana mit der richtigen Mischung aus Kräutertee, Holz, Frucht und Cremigkeit. Alkohol ist präsent, aber gut integriert. Mittellanger, trockener Abgang der das ganze Geschmacksrofil noch eine Weile auf ser Zunge hält. Top!
Review by Thunderbird
Ein feiner Port Mourant mit schönem Wechselspiel zwischen Kräutern und Honigsüße. Das Holz ist nicht zu stark präsent . Der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden und macht ihn gut trinkbar, ohne dass die Aromen verloren gehen. Das passt!
