    "16.06.2022 A nice day running through samples at home. Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Light wood, faint smoke, plum, fruity, spice, light tobacco, light ginger, cherry. Palate Oily, balanced, medium intense, light roasted wood, berries, light licorice, faint coconut, prunes. Finish Very long and warm, light wood, berries, spice, light licorice, oily, faint tar. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while or the ABV will take over. The change in the profile while resting is amazing to say the least."

    "A magnificent ''Bellevue'' that takes the connoisseur on an ideally balanced aromatic journey from fine woody notes with a delicious, caramel-like sweetness to tropical fruits and knows how to delight both the nose and the palate. Great cinema!"
