„In der Nase neben Holz, Gewürzen und Süsse von Vanille und Nougat eine ansprechende florale Note, die an zitrisch-blumiges Parfum erinnert. Am Gaumen erneut recht zitrisch-frisch Aromen gepaart mit rauchigen und floralen Noten. Das Profil selbst holt mich nicht restlos ab, findet aber sicher seine Freunde.“

„Diesmal wieder Frische in Form von Zitrusfrüchten. Das blumige Parfüm ist nun zurückhaltend und bereichert so das Profil, ohne es zu kippen. Tolle Nase. Am Gaumen auch gut. Leicht animalisch. Erstaunlich, wie konsistent die Serie auf einer Linie liegt.“

„Großes VSGB-Vertical-live-Tasting von und mit Luca Gargano. 22.10.2022, 16:42. Wettermäßig war dies ein perfektes Jahr. Nase: etwas frischer als die anderen, dennoch zunächst würzig-holzig. Zitrone und Mandarine kommen zur Johannisbeere, wieder duftendes Sandelholz und hinten etwas Nougat mit Liebstöckel. Gaumen: wieder dünn, wieder deutlich Säure, fast metallisch. Holzig. Zitronenschale mit Vanille und Leder. Insgesamt doch sehr trocken. Hinten raus grasig. Geht so. Platz: N: 6/10 G: 8/10“

„Schön rund, etwas Holz, Zitrus, Schokolade, vielleicht etwas dünn.“

„Slightly better than the standard 15 year release. Better balance but I'd like a higher ABV 😊 Waiting for the rest if the samples to arrive so I can score them as well (7 samples were broken when they arrived, postal services in Denmark is not always good) .“
