    Beautiful Versailles, but a little too tart and woody for me personally. However, there are also lots of great notes such as chocolate, caramel and spices. A little more fruit to balance it out would have been nice.

    Tasted three different Versailles together with DomM. The highlight of the evening after the disappointing Velier Beenleighs and the La Favorit. All three were very good, although in retrospect the Rum&Rock, which I had given an 8.5 at the time, was more herbal, with a profile similar to the 91 KFM. I find the TWCC and Cave Guildive more typical. But all three were very good and saved the evening.

    Un bon Guyana, très buvable, avec un bois relativement présent mais pas trop pour moi. Café, caramel, notes de tabac, et pas mal d’épices et de poivre vert on dirait. Le cuir est présent tout au long de la dégustation, ça j’aime bcp. Un bon moment, sans prise de tête !

    Wieder mal eine Guyana, der mich positiv überrascht. Ein richtig fruchtiger, komplexer Versailles! Ich schmecke viel Birne und rote Früchte, außerdem Marzipan, Holz und Melasse. Toll!
