Im direkten Vergleich mit dem TWJ 2009 etwas zurückhaltender an der Nase und trotzdem ist der Alkohol etwas präsenter und alles wirkt nicht ganz so ausgewogen wie beim TWJ. Am Gaumen das gleiche Spiel. Alkohol ist nicht perfekt eingebunden und nicht ganz so harmonisch. Die typischen Marker sind vorhanden, aber das Gesamtbild ist beim TWJ einfach stimmiger.
Auto-translatedNice TDL, with a hint of mint on the palate and even more on the finish. Generally a lot of body. body. The nose is actually quite harmless and not much to be expected, Ultimately, it doesn't really go in any extreme direction, it's just very successful. The alcohol is well integrated,
Auto-translatedA certain intensity on the nose. Already smells round and oily. Unexpected grassy notes on the palate for a tdl. Has something metallic about it. A certain mintiness also comes to the fore. A nice finish rounds it off.
Auto-translatedVerkostet gegen die TDL 2009er Referenz vom Bottleshop (RX18328). An der Nase recht verhalten, ich finde leicht etwas Gewürze/Falernum. Am Gaumen sind die typischen Marker zu finden, dieser TDL kommt für meinen Geschmack aber etwas gewürzlastiger daher als andere 2009er TDL. Gelbe Früchte und Minze eher im Hintergrund. Ich finde eine leicht metallische Note. Mit etwas Wasser wird er merklich flacher. Im Abgang helle gelbe Früchte und Süße. Keine schlechte Abfüllung, aber der erste 2009er TDL von Roots hat mir besser gefallen, und gegen den FRC Bottleshop hat er keine Chance. Der Bottleshop ist fetter, öliger, saftiger und fruchtiger.
