Professionele reviews

Serge Valentin (91)

Nose: smooth and rounded, all on honey, sultanas, ripe bananas, mint and liquorice. Extremely elegant, with a fantastic freshness. Goes on with plums, stewed peaches and a little melon. Whiffs of incense and cedar wood. Lovely oldie. Mouth: superbly balanced between many dried fruits and a superbly polished oakiness. No obvious tannins but notes of cardamom and white pepper. Finish: medium long, maybe just a tad oakier. Comments: the word ‘lovely’ has been invented for this one. The best of the bunch in my opinion.
