    Almost the same markers as the 2004 vintage, but with less vivacity. Still an excellent PQR for the quality of its aromas and flavors. See tasting note on 2004 15 ans.

    So, let's go to Madeira. The rum is very well balanced and good to drink. Great notes of baked apple, raisins, grapes and prunes. The alcohol is well integrated. Unfortunately, the rum could not convince me (btw. Madeira is not among my favorites)

    This time I smell technicality and alcohol as such in the aroma, in the taste wood, alcohol and something like apples..or raisins I would rate the first taste as not much, but over time I'm getting the taste for it. The taste is rather less sweet, I like that the flavour stays on the palate for a long time, but it's not quite my kind of rum.
