This biannual range is coming to an end, or so I'm told. This is the 3rd Batch of the Spring edition, which is named 01 (02 being the Autumn edition). I don't know what the 1 on the right means. All these codes are certainly starting to get complicated. I don't know the age of the beast or the number of bottles produced.
Let's Taste It :
The nose is lively, almost spicy, with honey and white fruits, vanilla and banana, gentle sea breeze, spices, cloves and black pepper. Luscious vanilla, warm waffle, mineral salts. Sand from the beach, a few salted biscuits. It's full on the palate, with yellow plums, mirabelles, the peat is far in the background, as are the spices. The finish is correct but light, woody, toasted cereals, crispy buckwheat pancakes, some pastry and creamy notes. Whipped cream.
In Short,
I think this series has improved over time. I used to find the mouth very clear, but here it's quite appreciable. I would still like a more virile alcohol content. The price is always a bit high.
Score : 86
