Αξιολόγηση


Η γευσιγνωσία έγινε στις 02/08/2010

Όψη:

Clear, golden amber with burnished copper highlights.

Μύτη:

Lightly spicy, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg and mace – the spice notes are more subdued than in Bénédictine D.O.M.

Στόμα:

Silky, lightly spiced and dryer than D.O.M. but still on the sweet side, although far from cloyingly so. The warmth of the alcohol on the palate subtly lifts warm saffron, ginger, cardamom, clove and particularly gingerbread spice notes, with citrus being far less apparent than in D.O.M.

Επίγευση:

Gingerbread, fudge and vanilla dominate the satisfying warming finish which I find strangely reminiscent of sucking new leather.
