Serge Valentin (91)

Colour; apricot. Nose: starts on all sorts of dried fruits, honeys (pine, chestnut, lavender, acacia), wax, cooked apricot… Goes on with tarte tatin, butter caramel. It gets rather smoky after ten minutes or so, with some great crumb. Notes of old rum and vanilla. Perhaps it just lacks a little bit of vivacity. Mouth: lots of herbal tea and dust, cocoa powder and cinnamon, getting slightly bitter. Yet there’s a lot of light toffee, caramel, cooked apple, candy sugar… It even gets quite hot, but also tannic and dusty. The finish is quite long but again, rather tannic, that’s why my rating is ‘only’

BOW (91)

This is an old vintage bottle and the closure may have deteriorated. When opening care should be taken. The item is sold as described.
