    Un excellent tdl. Le nez très marqué sur le cassis. La bouche est une symphonie de fruits rouges, fruits tropicaux, menthe et caramel. Une belle longueur. Bravo pour cette sélection. Un des plus beaux embouteillages de l année.

    Black fruit and very ripe melon.

    Mint and fruit bomb. I need to compare it with Whisky Jury 2003 because its very similar. TDL 2003 at its best.

    Really fine, typical, but expensive TDL. Can actually play with the big kids.
