The flavor profile includes woody, oily, and fruity notes, with some users likening its taste to whiskey, complemented by a medium finish. Generally appreciated for its price-to-quality ratio, it is described as an "easy sipper" with a complex yet accessible character, though some note it lacks the complexity of traditional Port Mourant expressions.

     Very similar to the RomDeLuxe 2005 - but not quite as round and smooth and also not as complex. But the same markers: aniseed, continental fruit, oak, plus a slight mustiness from wet cardboard - the sweet yeast pastry from the RDL is unfortunately missing. The mouth is a little thin with olive and brine and some musty wood just behind the aniseed. As with the RDL, the bitterness is well balanced. The dry finish is unfortunately a little flat with a hint of hay. Overall, a good PM that lacks a little complexity. I would always prefer the RDL.

     Easy Sipper. A little too thin for a top rating, but very good value for money!

     Entspannter PM, die Verdünnung nimmt die Schärfe raus. Easy Sipper.
