Tasting Notes

90
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 14
Bright, light yellow. Tangy but tight aromas of lemon, ginger and stone, with hints of exotic fruits. Less fruity and more stony today than the Chenevottes, showing cooler notes of pear nectar, menthol and minerals. Less sweet than the Chenevottes too. Needs a couple years to absorb more of its alcohol.
