“This was a nice experience and I liked the light smoky note from nose to finish.The nose has ester and dried fruits and a smoky note first with trailing licorice, mint and chocolate.The palate is lightly dry and fruity with smoke, tobacco chocolate and a hint of licorice.The finish is medium long and smoky with fruit and coffee.Try this one with a few drops of water and well rested as well.”

“Poorly integrated alcohol. A disappointing Bellevue for this age. Despite a nice length”

“Le nez est gras et séducteur. On retrouve du chocolat et des notes de torréfactions. C'est plutôt frais et puissant. Il est fruité (pomme-fruits secs-fruits tropicaux) et un profil ester assez intrigant. Wahooo c’est génial, passons à la dégustation ! En bouche, par contre, c’est plus austère et moins à mon goût. On ne retrouve quasiment plus rien de fruité mais que du café, du chocolat, du sucre brûlé, du boisé du fumé. La finale n’est pas suffisamment longue (pour un 20 ans) sur le fumé/café et une vague d'épices. Le nez était encourageant mais la bouche décevante avec ce profil fumé. Sur ce, je vais me replonger dans la sélection de Nobilis qui me conviens bien mieux.”
