Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

much fruitier, and smelling much younger than the Monbazillac, quite curiously. Really playful! Lots of Mirabelle jam, pineapple syrup, and even some hints of bubble gum. It’s very nice but less complex and less special than the previous one. Hints of peach syrup

restaurant Palate

very sweet attack again, but then there’s quite a lot of spirity notes. Quite rubbery, with some cooked yogurt, burnt wood, ‘still’ tastes (metal). I liked the ‘Monbazillac’ much better. Some slight bitter notes (tea leaves). The finish is long but, again, a little bitter and offbeat. 78 points . Speyside 1990 ‘Armagnac finishing’ (53.5%, Celtique Connexion, cask sample)
