Community Tasting Enmore 1990. No 4. Un rhum avec une couleur foncée, un nez de verni et de banane sur-mûre, de rôti, un peu décadent. Une attaque nette en bouche, pas diluée malgré l’ABV assez léger, des arômes disparates de cuir, de fruits. Un côté gourmand très agréable. Une finale longue, un peu amère, sucrée et heureusement avec une belle acidité. Le verre vide se révèle bien plus aromatique.
Blindtasting Enmore 1990 Nr.4: Diese Abfüllung sagt mir gar nicht zu. Zu Süß, zu Fruchtig, offensichtlich gefinished (Portwein). Von einem echten Enmore bleibt für mich nicht wirklich was essentiell übrig. Schade
Community Tasting Enmore 1990 VSG/MEV als Blindverkostung. Rum4: Deutlich dunkler in Farbe als Rum 1-3. Nase schön dunkel Fruchtig mit Pflaume, Dörrpflaume und Rosinen mit Mandelnite. Geöltes Leder. Lakritze und vielleicht Portwein. Im Antrunk etwas dünn aber lecker. Evtl. etwas süß… nasses Finish vielleicht. Viel Beerenfrucht. Leider etwas zu süß im Mund.

Cross Tastinge across 12 bottlings of 1990 Versialles destilled Enmores. Looking at the reduced bottlings (Alamein, RN, Moon). On the nose all can hold up predatory good with the higher ABv bottlings. The RN finis is well executed, while somewhat overwhelming the Versailles notes. Still nice. Alambic with a nice basket of continental fruits and Moon delivering all classic notes beautifully. On the palate all three are very approachable with RN‘s finish again being very noticeable and present - for me a bit too intense. Despite the reduction, the Alambic carries some sting while providing intensity. The Moon bottling adds quite some sweetness, yet also noctiable burnt notes in the background.
