    "A beautiful old Guadeloupe with a rich nose and a powerful yet balanced palate.Nose: intense and concentrated, spicy and fruity at the same time. Ripe lemon, kumquat and black currant bring sweet and sour freshness, blackberry and date heavy sweetness. Fragrant wood comes through now as well, accompanied by vanilla, caramel and some cream toffee. Slightly smoky at the back. Has something of port. 87Palate: concentrated, compact yet round and balanced. Spicy-fruity-woody. Hard to pin down. A mix of light lovage, currant but also something like brioche and caramel. Also seems creamy. Roasted nuts and soft licorice out the back. Interesting and tasty. 89The heavy molasses profile from Guadeloupe really appeals to me."

    "#4503 02.12.2023 Price to quality is very good in my mind on this release. Very fruity with an intense nose once rested. The palate is oily and fresh with a nice orange touch. The finish os medium to long, medium dry and kind of light with some orange. The empty glass has some chocolate and nice licorice. Love the fruityness."
