    Super exciting and very good!

    Auto-translated

    Dégustation de ce millésime 2014 de l'HSE Château la Tour Blanche. La couleur cuivrée de sa robe est magnifique. Au nez, ce rhum a besoin d'un peu de temps pour s'ouvrir sur un jus de canne gorgé de soleil. Des fortes notes de vanille emplissent les narines, avec un fond de pruneaux confits. Un second nez dévoile une marmelade de fruits plus exotiques, avec un boisé discret mais bien présent. C'est chatoyant, racé, puissant. En bouche, on trouve un rhum musqué, fort en épices. Bien qu'il n'affiche que 41°, on ressent bien la chaleur de l'alcool sans qu'elle domine. Les marqueurs sont sur la réglisse, la cannelle, et un profond boisé de vieux chêne, de cuir, de boîte à cigares sur une deuxième bouche. La finale est longue, onctueuse, expressive sur ces mêmes épices. C'est vraiment un excellent rhum à boire le soir au coin du feu, avec un bon cigare.

    Slightly closed nose, woody aromas. Needs a good airing, as I initially found it a little austere. Well-balanced on the palate, a little light...

    Excellent rum for those nostalgic for a good white wine... very fine work.
