Let's Taste It : 

I can immediately smell the white fruits, the grape, the mirabelle plum, but also the ripe banana and the juicy pear. Behind, a touch of iodine, with a lovely sweetness. Greedy, with icing sugar and genoise. The palate is mellow, oily, suave, still very fruity, with a hint of gooseberry. Very smooth. The spices are barely noticeable, a bit of nutmeg. Then the finish, sparkling, but without forgetting the sugar, with cola, lemonade and champagne bubbles. A dry, sandy earthiness at the end, and apricot.

 

In Short, 

A beautiful limited edition, we French are lucky enough to be able to enjoy this little gem. The price defies all competition, so it's hard to resist buying, unless you're not a fan.

Score : 86
