“Tested it together with the 15yo, and I think this is the better one because it’s smoother and more balanced.”

“A nose that hints at beautiful fruit with a certain lightness and good spice. On the palate, however, the wood overwhelms most of the other aromas and there's not much else to be felt. That's a shame.”

“Un nez de fruits mûrs. Une bouche très boisée et toastée. Une finale qui ajoute du végétal.”
