Less buttery than the <>H from the bottleshop, but just as well balanced and delicious. At first glance, at the same high level. A successful start to the new Ester Hunter series.

The Ester Hunter, of course a clear ester bomb, I love that. Ester on the nose, of course, as well as tropical fruits like mango. The palate is also full of esters and tropical fruits such as banana, pineapple and passion fruit. Thanks again to Banana Joe for the great samples.
8,5:On the nose, there is an ester bomb, full of fermented, overripe tropical fruits like banana, pineapple, papaya and medicinal notes like polish. We quickly receive pairing with vegetal side, with an olive. On the top, there is a honey glazure. When aired, roasted notes come out, molasses becomes stronger, we notice tempting notes of pastry, brioche, there is some yeast... Fruits are dried now, some citrus pops up after nice rest. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is fruity with fermented, overripe tropical fruits like maracuja, banana, pineapple, yellow fruits like mirabelle plum and a lot of spices-pepper.Fruits melt into the delicious marmelade, which is added to tasty brioches.The wood brings dryness and roasted notes, like nuts. Vegetal notes neutralize fruity sweetness, there is bitter olive, some mint, later flowery notes. Resting helps molasses to express itself in thick version, as the wood is a bit resinous with a pinch of a salt. 8,6:The finish is long and fruity, fermented, dry, there is some young wood, vegetal, citrus notes ending our tasting.
