Avis professionnels

Serge Valentin (83)

Colour: gold. Nose: fresh and nicely sherried. Lost of honey, caramel and vanilla, as usual. Some nice notes of sweet wine (gewurztraminer vendanges tardives)...

Hints of oak and pepper. In short, it’s nice and rather sweet, and of course flawless. Some gingerbread after a few minutes. Mouth: sweet and creamy attack. Quite some wine, apple compote, honey, with a dash of white pepper. Rather long finish, on sweet wine and oak. It appears to be much bolder than what I’d have expected since it’s a 40% version. I like it.
