“Tasted again with two 2002 T.D.Ls The high rating here is fully justified. This one is less minty and herbaceous and much more on the fruity-sweet side, and clearly more elegant (+1). This bottling and the presentation of the bottling raises a lot of expectations. Unfortunately, I don't have a drop of the Private Garden No1 left for a direct comparison and have to rely on my notes and memory. I definitely find the cassis note on the nose. There are also other red fruits (sour cherry) and a fresh note (mint). The alcohol is a shade better integrated than I remember from Private Garden No1. WOW on the palate again! Lots of fruit (cassis and sour cherry), a good portion of barrel influence (oak, slightly bitter), less in the floral direction. Mint is also there but not as much as in PG No1. The transition to the finish is dominated by blackcurrant and barrel notes, which remain medium to long. There is a clear similarity to PG No1 and it is neither better nor worse.”

“Tasted at the 2nd German Armagnac Festival. First of all, I'm sorry I missed out on securing a bottle of this bottling. Very tasty and balanced. Like last year, a big thank you to Mika, who once again allowed me to try everything.”

“Fair rating Brutally good TDL. Of all the 00, 01, 02, 03 vintages, for me the strongest single cask.”

“J'avais hâte de tester ce "fût jumeau". C'est chose faite. Le nez me semble d'abord très fruité et frais. Mais après quelques minutes j'y trouve du caramel, de la vanille, un boisé discret. Ca semble très évolutif, comme son alter-ego. En bouche, ça explose : fruits, épices piquantes, bois franc, zeste d'orange. Il est finalement différent de son prédécesseur mais c'est de nouveau une très belle sortie !”

“Nez ; c'est frais, sur la résine de pin, le thym, la chlorophyle. Un côté empyreumatique se dégage sur de la colle à maquette, un peu de caoutchouc brûlé, des huiles essentielles. Cela devient joliment fruité, de l'orange confite à des senteurs plus tropicales, j'y trouve de la mangue, papaye, kumquat et carambole. C'est parsemé de coco râpée légèrement grillée accompagné d'un beau caramel cuit sur la crême aux oeufs. C'est gourmand et évolutif. L'alcool est presque imperceptible. Bouche ; du caramel doux, des fruits secs confits, un boisé légèrement bousiné, puis d'un seul coup, une explosion d'arômes fruités. Beaucoup de litchis et de pamplemousses roses. Vraiment beaucoup. C'est agréable. Le baume du tigre caractéristique des TDL fait son apparition et reste longtemps en fin de bouche. Camphre, menthol et eucalyptus. Cela devient légèrement astringent sans que cela soit dérangeant. Finale ; longue, avec cette fraicheur qui reste au fond des parois de la bouche. C'est élégant. Un excellent TDL, plus mesuré qu'un 2001, mais aussi moins clivant, avec une belle palette aromatique qui change de direction au cours de la dégustation. L'oxydation doit le magnifier.”

“A lot of alcohol in the nose, but behind, nice effluves of pineapple, sugary and pretty deep. Taste was compelling and rich - but slightly lacking to my taste. Good experience overall”

“It needs some time to get the best from it. Then its very nice creamy trinidad, with decent mint, fruits and heavy tones in the background. Easy to sip, well done. Is it better then previous sister cask? I dont know, its quite different, but honestly it lacks some special taste to be the top TDL. In respect of the previous sister cask, this is not 90points bottle for me. But still delicious creamy trinidad.”
