    Wow, richtig guter Versailles mit erstaunlich viel Tiefgang. Holz, Bitterkeit, Frucht ist perfekt ausbalanciert. Trotz der Verdünnung wirkt er überhaupt nicht dünn, auch wenn er gerne noch ein paar Prozente mehr vertragen könnte.

    Super Nase! Dunkel aber nicht modrig mit herrlicher Melange aus Fruchtkomponenten, Leder, Fass, Malz, Zitrus und Gewürzen. An Gaumen dann – den 46 % entsprechend – etwas dünn. Aber wirklich noch gut im Rahmen und lecker.

    An der Nase schwere/würzige Aromen. Holz, Leder, Malz, etwas Anis, Bleistiftspähne, Karamell, Kaffee und getr. Früchte. Insgesamt dem 2006 REV-Profil relativ ähnlich. Am Gaumen wenig bis gar keine fruchtigen Noten, sondern mehr holzige, würzige Aromen und ein Hauch Kräuter. Gefällt mir sehr gut.

    Wow, überraschend. Richtig toller Versailles. Er hat eine schöne Schwere und das Alter kommt im positiven richtig gut durch. Bringt auch eine schön nuancierte Komplexität mit, die trotz den niedrigen Volumen gut zur Geltung kommt. Tolle Bleistift-Charakeristika mit Leder, Pflaume, Papaya.
