Let's Taste It : 

Very good balance between vanilla, red fruits and wood. Robust wood covered in splinters, light red fruits, wild strawberries, damsons, but above all intense vanilla, candied, glazed in sugar, accompanied by lemon and other citrus fruits. The palate is similar, leaving the spotlight on the vanilla. Very good finish, pleasant and long enough, once again fruity and woody, more pastry-like, with genoise and caramel. A touch of dry earth and nuts at the end.

 

In Short, 

It is, of course, very friendly and appetising. That said, I find the bourbon casks a little too intrusive and make the whole a bit monochrome, although very pleasant. 

Score : 86
