“On the nose, the 2006s are overall - unsurprisingly - quite similar. Dried fruit, subtle spicy and woody notes - perhaps the most obvious caramel note in a direct comparison should be emphasized here. On the palate the obligatory prune, distinct smokiness, leather, licorice, wood, again caramel sweetness - compared to the other 2006s most smokiest. Aromatically quite with appealing complexity. Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of overly roasted or smoky flavors, but if that appeals to you as much as the REV profile, you should get your money's worth here. For me, it's a bit too much roastiness as well as medicinal alcoholic spiciness on the palate. For the comparison to the 1994 representatives, I repeat my impressions of the other 2006s: much less heaviness, the plum notes appear here more in tandem with currant, the dark tones of wood, licorice, leather and caramel are much less pronounced. I am inclined - despite the aromatic complexity of this bottling - to speak of "REV Light." While the spectrum of 2006s also has its charm and the character is undeniably recognizable, in my eyes the REV profile benefits extremely from the long aging and resulting complexity. However, the reference points can also be described as almost unfair for the younger bottlings, especially for proven lovers of the 1994 REVs.”

“I love the Versailles REV. When I saw this bottle at RumDeLuxe I was immediately attracted. So when it was on sale a few days later, I was tempted! I'm not disappointed, it's typically the REV profile that I appreciate: the well candied Pruneau, the well demerara cooked sugar, the well dark and greedy wood. I find it very good, for a very good price.”

“An der Nase Leder, leicht verkohlt, karamell, getr. Früchte, vanille und eine leichte Süße. Am Gaumen findet sich alles wieder was die Nase versprochen hat. Ein schöner 2006er REV mit gut einbebundenem ABV.”
