La Favorite Millésime 2009
Grassy, fresh cane with vanilla, woody spice and a touch of tropical fruit and citrus. This 2009 La Favorite is balanced and only lightly dry, but tasters agree it needs warming and a little rest in the glass before it opens — the nose runs faint at first. One member summed it up as "good but not wow."
- Fresh grassy cane
- Balanced wood-spice
- Long finish

How does La Favorite Millésime 2009 taste?
Aggregated from 19 community reviews.
Fresh, grassy agricole that needs air Pleasant, balanced agricole with grass, wood and spice — most find it well-made but a bit short on aromatic punch. A few say it shines only after resting in the glass.

After resting this one it gets really nice. I Unfortunately the price doesn't match what you pour. Still very fruity and fresh with spices and wood. Only very lightly dry.
Review by Daniel
An Nase und Gaumen deutlich frisch und grasig sowie ordentlich Würze. Finde dieses Profil hier leicht besser als das des 2010ers.
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
Belle richesse et typicité que ce millésime 2009. L’équilibre au nez et en bouche est bien présent, il lui manque un peu d’intensité aromatique pour en faire un grand !
Review by Werner10
Good but not wow. Nice woody taste, some fruits and spices.
Review by Stefan Persson
This is my first “La Favorite”, and sorry to say I’m not impressed. The nose is extremely weak, hard to recognize any aroma at all, not even after warmed up in my hands. In mouth it’s the same initially, but after resting a while it’s was possible to recognize the tastes. The finish is quite long and tastes the same as at the palate.
