Lively on the nose underlining its relative young age. Young wood and a jam of (fresh) apples and cinnamon come to my mind. This is rather interesting. Also nice on the palate. Doesn’t hide its young age but is quite enjoyable. Some sweetness with coconuts and vanilla. Basket of continental fruits with some cinnamon again. Side note to the (European) pricing: absolutely not worth EUR 350-400 unfortunately imho.
Tastes like cough syrup… first mount hay I didn’t like (like really really really didn’t like) I hope it stays an exception ;)
This is quite a successful MG, light and pleasant to drink. The alcohol is very well integrated. The nose is dominated by tart fruits such as a compote of green apple and kumquat and some caramel. Slightly sour fruit on the palate here too. This time more green apple with currants. I also notice coffee and nutty wood. The finish is not too long and is more on the woody side. All in all, a success, but the price... a clear "no" for me.
Good, fruity and herbaceous aroma but still a little young in my opinion. With a little more ageing and melting I can imagine it very well. I wouldn't have guessed Barbados or MG blind, I don't think.
