Serge Valentin (92)

Matured in fresh bourbon casks. Colour: dark straw. Nose: similar to the 1970 I liked so much, with lots of fresh fruits, melon, guava, peach ad pear. Very youthful for its age. Gets also very floral, with a nice sourness from the wood. Punchier than the 1970, in fact, and even a tad smoky. Mouth: creamy, slightly herbal, developing on all sorts of fruit jams (mirabelle, quince, melon…) Some fresh tangerine. Too enjoyable for a €1168.61 bottle? The finish is perhaps a bit dry but the whole is very, very nice – even if I still like the 1970 better. 92 points for this forty.
