    schöne frische Noten und leichtes Holz

    Toller Versailles in perfekter Trinkstärke. Am Gaumen sehr fruchtig (insbesondere getrocknete Aprikosen). Am Gaumen recht trocken mit deutlich weniger Frucht.

    Pleasant spicy nose. The first thing that came to mind was honey. Fresh and slightly resinous it comes. Then fruity aromas of pear and slightly sulfured dried apricots also enter. Slightly woody, but more cherry with vanilla. Very nice fragrance. A spicy, tart note predominates on the palate. Bitter, toasty, woody and leather. Something pungent from resin and something dry from cardamom powder. Am the fruit most likely a hint of dried date. To the finish it goes in the direction of tea, something bitter and a little anise. Already nice Port Morant with slight weaknesses on the palate

    Sehr runder und ungewöhnlich nussig milder Port mourant. Hat was von gerösteten Pinienkernen mit Pesto Genovese und Baumharz. Gefällt mir gut! Könnte auch ein Versailles vsg sein?! So oder so ein wirklich toller ungewöhnlicher PM!
