Very balanced continental PM, accessible without hiding the typical tart notes of PM still. Aromatically complex, alcohol well integrated - the bottlings knows how to convince.
For me one of the worse 99 PMs
Very unconventional flavor profile but appealing. Deep and complex, very good.
It's a PM and it's very good. The nose is typical with a banana and almond powder well present. It's very nice. In the mouth it's more spicy and peppery than I expected but it's well done. As usual on this profile we find a wet wood that comes in the background. It is marked but it remains quite acceptable when you like this profile.
