Review by Benoit Mahe
Même après une ouverture de plus d'une heure, le nez reste assez sombre sur le boisé et des notes assez terreuses. La bouche qui vient ensuite est surprenante, sur les fruits confits et la canne à sucre. C'est très gourmand et plaisant. Aujourd'hui les prix ont flambé et c'est dommage car c'est un très bon rhum.
Review by Stefan Persson
A fantastic Rhum, but too expensive. The nose is fruity aromas of oak and cocoa. At the palate it’s fruity, woody and round with flavors of chocolate and oak. The finish is quite long with the same flavors as at the palate.
Review by Jeremy Roger 🇫🇷
fût Cognac n° 40. Un nez très doux et gourmand, rond et boisé/moelleux. Une bouche toute en délicatesse ! Chocolat, sucre brun . Un vrai bonbon très accessible.
