"Pleasant nose. But also again unusual soap associations on the palate."
"Franconian Tasting Gang am 10.05.2024 Zuerst ein großes Dankeschön an DomM, der dieses Set zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Mich persönlich hat es nicht abgeholt das Profil. Bis auf eine Ausnahme ist mir dieser Seifengeschmack too much. Die Reste aus den Gläsern sind aber dann dank DomM und Serge in einem spontanen und überragenden Cocktail gelandet."
"Tasted at a private tasting. I remember this was a people's favourite. Good flavours not too old not too young. Nose: glue/nail polish. Vanilla. Caramel. Lime. Weird. Nice! Taste: soft agricole at first. Then very flowery. Parfum. Cardemom. Outspoken stuff. Funky in a non high esther way. White pepper. I like this but it's weird."
"Still reasonably pleasing on the nose, although hints of the soapy off-note are already recognizable here too. This is also clearly evident on the palate, even if it is not completely overpowering. Nevertheless, it should be noted that real enjoyment does not materialize. Too bad."
