Super delicious Foursquare
Interesting but without revelation. For this voltaz is very delicate and in smell and taste.
A very gourmand and expressive Foursquare on the nose, with a fruity presence (coconut, papaya, red fruit, raisin), a dry but well-melted woodiness that accompanies milk chocolate, mocha, roasted hazelnuts, sweet spices, tobacco and toasted notes. Pastry notes of caramel and toffee contrast with alcohol notes, which are quite firm even after aeration. A typical but exuberant nose. Very powerful on the palate, Foursquare is somewhat alcoholic despite the very gourmand flavors of spice, coconut, dark chocolate and toffee. Spicy oak, leather and tobacco join dried fruit for a more muscular profile. The 62% is still very much present. Finally, a long, warm, spicy, dry and alcoholic finish prolongs the power on the palate, with hints of caramel, vanilla, hazelnut and a touch of saltiness. Fruity and woody notes complete the intense, invigorating whole. One of the heaviest and most intense Foursquare wines, it pulls its weight with a few original flavors and greediness.
A full and beautiful bouquet. Fruity spicy, like a brandy. A metallic freshness with lime and slight acidity of dried and sulfured currants. A woody, slightly toasty spice with vanilla and tobacco. And fruity with cherry and coconut. I really like the nose.Intense and powerful on the palate. Spicy and somehow bitter-salty-sweet. Again this metallic with lime zest. And some dried fruit, apricot, currant, raisin. A little peppery with nutmeg vanilla and almond but also sweet like toffee. Very nice.Round , intense, great rum.
