"Ever since @crazyforgoodbooze got me hooked on Mauritius at the 11th GRF, I've been trying to get to know the country's rums better. With this one, I like the expressive blackcurrant note on the palate. A really pleasant rum, but with an unremarkable nose and a short finish that can't match the Grays from Perola (RX12865) from the same year. Update 2023-07-02: I must have had a bad day at the first tasting, only 82 points just doesn't do the rum justice. Now, at the second tasting, it has a super-long, fruity and woody finish. The impressive red rum now gets a well-deserved 86 points. Pretty good PLV for a single cask and still available, wonderful. Update 2024-03-16: Used as a benchmark rum against two other New Grove single casks and more than lives up to its role. In the meantime I have to say, even better than the 2009 bottling. Amazing Mauritius!"

"So now also the two 2010s from Gunnar his legendary Mauritius Split in the glass. Both are a lot of fun. This one clearly has the higher ABV, but the alcohol is well integrated. Tastes a tick better to me."

"This is my first Mauritius molasses session, after having tasted it yesterday. A direct comparison of the Savoir Faire 2009 for LMDW, the Savoir Faire 2010 for LMDW and the CDI 2009 13 yo for Perola. The 2010 is also quite fruity, but not as extroverted and accompanied by tobacco and integrated in spices (cloves & ginger). The peach is less juicy, sharing the stage with dried apricot. A very elegant nose. The 65.2% is fantastically integrated and brings a great intensity. It is also surprisingly fruity, lots of dried apricot, but also mango and peach. A fresh mint also joins in - blind I would certainly have thought it was a 2003 TDL. Although dried fruit dominates in the mouth, the finish brings another really juicy mango - that's great. The 2010 LMDW is the best of my three wines, the intensity in the mouth more than makes up for the restraint on the nose. Alcohol integration, balance, complexity all top. The 2009 is very, very close on its heels. The old apricot and the greater complexity are particularly convincing here, but the slight bite costs a few points. Perhaps the difference is more a matter of form on the day than taste. The CDI is already very good, but falls a little short. It is lighter and therefore too far on the fruity side."

"Diese Abfüllung, obwohl mit höherem Alkoholgehalt, ist von den Aromen nicht ganz so gehaltvoll, wie der vergleichbare Perola! Hier vermisse ich etwas die Komplexität mit den prägnanten Minz- und Fruchtaromen! Würze und Holz liegen hier im Vordergrund"
