Review and Tasting

Sampled on 26/08/2019

Appearance:

Clear golden.

Aroma:

Honeycomb (inside of a crunchy bar), butterscotch, saddle leather and rolling tobacco with muscovado sugar. Faint sweet raisons.

Taste:

Caramel, new leather, grassy, white pepper and cinnamon spice with notes of rubber tyre (in a good way).

Aftertaste:

Dry oaky finish with caramel and cinnamon spice.

Overall:

Initially you might find Leblon Reserva somewhat over-oaked, dry and spicy. However, as you continue sipping (which you'll inevitably do) so sweet grassy muscovado sugar flavours step in to balance the oak.
