Review by Double Barrel
Not the same focus and concentration than the first batch but still very very good and highly quaffable.

Un bonheur, acheté en martinique (top qualité prix!)
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
This is what a red wine finish should taste like! It is present without taking over the rum. Red fruits, berries and cherry remain from the nose to the finish. There are also spices (cumin, cloves) - and a hint of sulphur, which leaves a little salt in the mouth and finish. Despite the low alcohol content, a lot of flavor comes together in the mouth. Reminiscent of a very elegant 2008 Ten Cane. A little too little action, but I could drink this almost every day.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A superb bottling from HSE, who have perfectly mastered their subject with this finish and this Vintage. The nose offers viticultural tones of red wine and grape, but also carries red fruits such as cherry and dried fruit. Spices are very present, notably chili, vanilla, pepper and nutmeg. A lovely woodiness and a hint of honeyed sugar cane accompany this round, gourmand and intense profile. On the palate, it's a dry, elegant, vinous and complex rum. The wine is finished in Marquis de Terme, a rather masterful touch that adds that extra touch of pleasant complexity. Red fruits (cherry), dried fruits and spices are also very present. Agricultural tones come to the fore with sugarcane, but remain subtle so as not to unbalance the profile. At 47%, the alcohol is very well integrated, neither too little nor too much. The finish is long, dry and tannic, almost astringent with the wine barrel. The spices are more prominent, as is a roasted side of walnuts and leather. The fruit remains red and dry, accompanying this elegant profile throughout. This is yet another example of HSE's remarkable expertise and willingness to think outside the agricultural box.

Review by benoit burger
Top. Boisé très présent avec un petit côté fruité ( raisin ,pruneaux) apporté sûrement par la finition , complexe avec une belle longueur.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Nez très pâtissier : vanille, miel, fruits confits (abricots)...avec une pointe de boisé. Le nez est très prometteur sur la cerise acide. En bouche il y a énormément de gourmandise et de corps. On a du raisin, des fruits confits avec une belle longueur boisée et épicée. HSE nous livre ici une belle démonstration de ce que doit être un finish : au service du rhum. Ne vaut probablement pas le fameux Marquis de terme 2005, mais cela reste quand même sacrément bien réussi comme embouteillage !
Review by Simon Leroux
Un embouteillage agréable mais en dessous des autres éditions du finish Marquis
Review by Djehey
Tasted with fest rum. Nice balance. Aromatic in the tradition of the XO, with depth probably provided by the red wine cask.
Review by Agricoler
Small HSE tasting: Significantly better than the sherry finish. Very nice red fruits and still a nice agricole influence. Overall the better ratio of finish to base product. Really very round thing.
