Im Vergleich zum 2014er kommt die florale Note hier kaum zum Tragen. Ansonsten in der Nase ähnlich, frische Frucht, leichte Holzsüsse und Kräuter. Am Gaumen nach initialer Frische erneut eine - mit fortlaufender Zeit im Glas - deutlicher hervortretende blumig-seifige Note, die bei jedem Schluck initial hervorsticht und mir den Genuss leider erschwert. Im Abgang rückt die Seifigkeit wiederum in den Hintergrund. Rauchigkeit, Kräuter und Gewürze dominieren, das typische Profil bleibt erahnbar. Nach dem zweiten Anlauf revidiere ich meine ursprüngliche Wertung etwas, da die seifige Note zumindest im Abgang weniger präsent ist als ich dies ursprünglich wahrgenommen hatte. Dennoch kann ich hier nicht zu einer guten Bewertung erhöhen, weil ich die Seifennote schlichtweg als störend empfinde.

Die Nase gefällt me sehr gut. Zitrusfrüchte, Makronen, feine Würze. Im Mund geht es ähnlich weiter, sehr pfeffrig und knusprig. Blumiges Parfüm. Sehr guter Agricole, gut trinkbar. Oszilliert zwischen blumigen Parfüm und blumiger Seife.

Vielleicht nicht mehr ganz so störend, aber auch hier im Abgang eine Seifen-Fehlnote.

Großes VSGB-Vertical-live-Tasting von und mit Luca Gargano. 22.10.2022, 16:18. Nase: holzig-würzig mit leicht saurer Johannisbeere, etwas Zitrone und ein wenig Essig, dann aber viel weißes Nougat und Toffee mit Vanille, leicht rauchig und hinten ein Hauch Seife. Angenehm. Gaumen: deutlich weniger Holzsäure als sein 20 Jahre alter Bruder. Fast weich aber auch recht dünn. Holzig zu Beginn, dann wird er aber schnell ziemlich seifig. Es kommt etwas Veilchen-Lakritz durch bevor er kräuterig, wurzelig und grasig wird. Grasiges Zuckerrohr, Veilchen und Fenchel im Abgang. Weniger Säure gefällt mir, mehr Seife nicht. Auch etwas zu dünn. Platz: N: 8/10 G: 7/10

Finally got the package with the replacement samples and this time nothing was broken. I will add them as I taste them over the next few days. This one is kind of light, but it is also a young rum. Fruity with spices and some wood.

Dégusté à l’aveugle et j’ai tout de suite ressenti une sensation dérangeante au nez et en bouche. Au nez les épices sont très fortes (clou de girofle) avec un boisé humide, sous-bois. Après aération, on retrouve les fruits mûrs, le chocolat sec. En bouche, mon palais est tout de suite saisi par un côté médicamenteux agressif, bois de dental, comme si un encens avait trempé dans le jus. En essayant de faire abstraction de ces notes dérangeantes, j’arrive à percevoir des notes végétales, animales, un poivré très intense. L’alcool est très présent ce qui me fait penser à un « jeune » rhum vieux. La fin de bouche est longue mais cette longueur n’est pas agréable, avec des arômes de médicaments toujours, du thym et des herbes de Provence. Trop déroutant pour ma part.

Die Seife ist nicht mehr so präsent. Der Rum ist aber trotzdem nicht gut.

Very nice young Rhum. Really like this vintage, more than 2014

Le nez est correct mais en bouche un goût très particulier. L’impression de boire du parfum, j’ai lu goût de savon, y’a de ça. Peut peut-être un soucis sur mon échantillon mais pour moi limite buvable.
