    Un rhum exceptionnel, tant par le nez que par la bouche. Des fruits partout, du cassis, du litchi, de la passion, avec ce menthol typique TDL et un vrai parfum de rose. Une bouteille magnifique, exceptionnelle.

    En sorti de bouteille il est legerement agressif puis avec sa petite demi heure d’ouverture il est reposé et équilibré. Des notes de cassis fruit rouge et fruit a coque en premier bez confirmer a la première entrée en bouche. Un boisé délicat vient parfumer le tout. Un belle longueur sur le cassis tirant sur l’amertume du bois en fin de bouche. C’est beau et c’est bon

    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.
