"Savanna de style agricole, ce rhum a une forte influence florale et herbacĂ©e au nez, beaucoup de plantes et de fraĂźcheur vĂ©gĂ©tale avec des Ă©pices qui relĂšvent le tout. La canne Ă  sucre est perceptible, de mĂȘme que la finition en calvados qui ajoute des notes acidulĂ©es de pomme. Les agrumes et le boisĂ© complĂštent ce profil trĂšs typique. L’attaque en bouche est trĂšs agricole. Les Ă©pices rivalisent avec les saveurs de plantes herbacĂ©es, de vĂ©gĂ©taux et de canne Ă  sucre. Les fruits et le fĂ»t sont absorbĂ©s dans la bataille par le chĂȘne, qui rĂ©ussit Ă  s’immiscer dans le palais. Le vesou donne un cĂŽtĂ© suave en bouche qui donne un peu de sucrositĂ© Ă  un profil trĂšs marquĂ© par la domination vĂ©gĂ©tale. L’alcool est bien intĂ©grĂ©. La finale est longue, herbacĂ©e, vĂ©gĂ©tale et terreuse, mais aussi chaude et fortement Ă©picĂ©e. Canne Ă  sucre, chĂȘne et notes fumĂ©es se complĂštent pour donner un ensemble concentrĂ© et fortement influencĂ© par la matiĂšre premiĂšre et le terroir. Un profil jeune comparĂ© Ă  d’autres MillĂ©simes de la maison, mais qui s’en sort bien avec une belle dualitĂ© aromatique, mĂȘme si elle manque un peu de profondeur sur le fond."

"This one scored a bit less than the previous one, but it's still a very good rum. The nose is lightly fruity with a more vegetal and grassy note. Like walking in the moores in the morning. There is also spice and wet tobacco as well and a hint of oak. The palate is a bit sweet, complex and oily (draws nice curtains) with fruit and earthy notes. Tobacco and smoky oak is here as well and compliments the overall palate. The finish is long with tobacco and smoky oak and in the back i pick up some peat. "

"Un beau rhum de Savanna tourné sur la pomme et les épices. Une certaine amertume cependant mais trÚs maßtrisée !"
