Interessanter Clairin. Das Bielle Fass kommt gut durch, jedoch wird dadurch vielleicht zu sehr die typische Clairin-Note überdeckt!
Hard to find, I wanted this bottle exactly because I was already disappointed by Velier's Haitian. A pastry nose with sugar cane and funky (ex Jamaican rum barrel?). On the palate we find the funky with woody, banana and rum grapes which still reminds us of Jamaica.Very disappointing and volatile at the opening, it has mellowed and complexified with oxidation and time.A very good idea the aging in rum cask. Better than younger Sajous and more interesting than an older clairin.
I like it well ... tasty sipper .
Very enjoyable and suitable for the occasion this evening.
