NOSE
It needs a few moments in the glass
to releases vegetal scents, a hint of
cocoa, wood and wood varnish.
PALATE
Wood and wood varnish, accompanied
by molasses, honey and medicinal
herbs. Then toasted notes.
FINISH
Long. Wood, toasted and vegetable
aromas. A touch of black pepper.
Shy on the nose, but explosive on the
palate. Remarkable persistence.
88
NOSE
Fruity, trifle, maraschino, candied
fruit, with mainly pear and citrus, and
flambéed banana.
PALATE
Candied fruit, mineral, vanilla pod,
and a touch of white pepper. On the
dry side.
FINISH
Medium finish. At first sweet and
then peppery spices.
Simple to appreciate and with a good
intensity. Not that structured.
87
NOSE
Visou, together with notes of citrus
and fruit such as plums, figs, and
stewed apples.
PALATE
Dry and very spicy, with hints of coffee,
tobacco, toasted almonds, mentholated,
and resinous.
FINISH
Medium. Herbaceous visou, and elegant
woody notes
A nicely balanced rhum, with a decent
structure.
