Au début, j’ai ressenti une trame pâtissière légère, et des notes franches de melon. Puis avec l’aération, un léger cuir, des notes marquées de bois & de camphre apparaissent, et si le fût de cognac se fait discret, quelques notes de fruits exotiques se cachent parmi les tanins. En bouche, il y a du peps & une belle acidité. De la nectarine, de la clémentine, j’aime beaucoup ! C’est assez direct, agricole oblige, mais plaisant, et l’influence du fût de cognac monte en intensité. Des noyaux de fruits, quelques épices légers s’installent petit à petit. La finale, de longueur moyenne, oscille entre un étonnant sucre candy (plutôt typique de la mélasse), des fruits jaunes, du poivre, et un boisé présent sans être écrasant. La patience est de mise pour laisse la gourmandise du cognac s’installer.
Savanna Cross Tasting - November 2025: The "second" Grotto from the new Wild Island Edition is more on the light side, with yellow fruits, less wood, less spice, less sweetness. Somehow light and rather thin. Not quite to my taste.
