A traditional Isautier with fairly full and varied aromas, the nose taking a journey between floral notes and thyme, then making a stopover on spices (cardamom, nutmeg) before landing at its destination in tropical fruit, candied citrus and marmalade, all with a sweet, honeyed edge to boot. An olfactory journey that makes you want to return. The attack on the palate is a little more choppy, with herbaceous notes first, followed by citrus, dried and exotic fruits, before woody and spicy notes take over and finish the dance. There's a touch of alcohol on the cognac that lingers on the palate. The alcohol is fairly well integrated. The finish completes the harmony of aromas, with a predominance of herbal and spicy notes that leave a certain dryness on the palate (also partly due to the tannins). Dried and shelled fruits make themselves quite small at the end of this gustatory journey. A good cuvée from Isautier with undeniable qualities, but the profile seems to decrescendo as the tasting progresses, unfortunately.
Tasted live, I found it nice, more so than the Agricole version. I rediscovered the floral profile that I find so typical of Reunion Island, but with a marked woodiness. I thought it would make a good competitor to some Savannas.
