“Very, very complex. Warm rubber, lots of cassis, smoky. Full. Super mouthfeel and very well integrated alcohol.”

“Limited to a mere 243 bottles, this one is better than the 18 year old.The nose is very well balanced and kind of heavy with a tad of smoke. The rubber and spicy side of Guadeloupe is definitely there and so is the fruitiness.The palate is sweet and heavy/thick and it draws nice curtains in the glass. Oily with mint and pepper followed by spices and smoky wood. Spicy kick there as well.The finish is medium long to long with pepper, oak and smoke.”

“The nose is fat and earthy. There is some licorice and olive notes. It is rather fresh and powerful. We validate, let's go to the tasting! In mouth the attack is warm. The fruity of the nose is found (plum, date ...) as well as caramel and tar. The finish is rather complex on woody and orange. It is really nice this Guadeloupe! Nice selection but less greedy and below the Nobilis tasted a few days ago.”
