Serge Valentin (86)

Here’s the brand new Laddie that already made many buzz-kills talk. It’s been finished for five weeks in some Rivesaltes casks from Cazes, the grape variety being mourvèdre. Colour: strawberry jam. Nose: honey, vanilla and fresh fruit (melon) with whiffs of wine. Not too many winey notes in fact, much less than I’d have expected. Hints of red fruits developing after a while, together with some fine oak. Quite nice! Mouth: smooth, quite creamy and toffeeish. A little woody, with vanilla and ripe fruits, caramelized apple. Gets a little spicy (nutmeg) with just, yes, a few spicy wine notes that don’t overwhelm, but rather underline the malt. Medium long finish, on toasted bread. A very good Bruichladdich, even if not as stellar as the 20 yo ‘first edition’. But the latter had some enemies too ;-)
