"A remarkable VSOP that’s very balanced and elegant. The only one of those I’ve tasted that can compete is the 8yo from Dillon. Significant scents and flavors are prunes, grass, sugarcane, vanilla, licorice and tobacco."

"In der Nase getrocknete Aprikose, Pflaumen und eine ausgeprägte Würze mit Gewürze wie Zimt und Muskat. Viel Vanille und immer noch eine gewisse Floralität und Zuckerrohr. Im Geschmack ebenso viel Holz und Gewürze, Tabak Lakritze und dunkle Schokolade. Die Fruchtigkeit ist noch da, aber deutlich im Hintergrund. Der lange Abgang bringt die bekannten Aromen, Kaffee, Leder und eine Bitterkeit an den Gaumen. Der Depaz hat deutlich mehr Holz abbekommen und ist geprägt von den Fassaromen. Die Basis ist zwar wahrnehmbar, ist aber schon etwas im Hintergrund."

"From the white to vieux plantation to this. More flowers in this one. More wood. Again nicely balanced. Yellow fruits. Peach. Apple. Tropical. Taste: still tropical but also a lot dryer than the previous one. Hay. Grass. Some cacao. Very different juice. Gets fruitier over time. The dryness needs time to get used to."
