“CoR-Tasting GRF13: Sehr minziger frischer TDL mit einigen Kräuter-Noten. Alkohol ist deutlich spürbar und präsent. Insgesamt eine ansprechende Abfüllung, die aber nicht an die 2001-2003er Jahrgänge herankommt. Man hätte ihm etwas mehr Zeit zum entwickeln veben sollen”

“A rum tasted at the GRF in 2024, CoR masterclass. A nose of wood, caramel, tropical fruit and honey. The attack is lively, with aromas dominating a well-integrated alcohol. Spices, much more so than on the nose. The finish is moderately long, but too dominated by honey and wood. An atypical TDL, sweeter and above all darker and less fruity than usual.”

“Nose: caramel, popcorn, red fruits, well rounded. Palate: full TDL as I like it, lots of red and yellow fruit, well-integrated oak, some tannins, well-integrated spices. Finish: long, fruity, smoky with a menthol veil that gradually thickens. I was skeptical when I first tasted it, but in the end I fell in love with it! TDL as I like it.”

“GRF 2014 CoR tasting: Eher schwacher TDL 2009, hätte ich blind nicht erkannt. Leichte Minze im Hintergrund, ansonsten eher alkoholisch. Wenig frucht, leicht pfeffrig. Nicht mein Profil, obwohl ich die TDL sonst gerne mag”

“Tasted at Liquid Leuven ‘23, so my review remains rather concise. Exceedingly cool (as in: cold) aroma of eucalyptus and spearmint. Then darker sugars and herbal black tea, supported by dried fruits and pinetree resin. Quite linear. In the mouth more of the same, but sent in overdrive. Extremely fresh with eucalyptus and After Eights. Subsequently herbal and spicy with notes of oregano, black tea, licorice and black pepper. Backbone of forest fruits. Eventually lightly dirty, oily, and petrolated. The finish is quite short, yet cool and sweet with menthol and heaps of brown sugar.”

“Nice expression from the T.D.L. 2009 vintage. It's quite flowery on the nose, but there's also some sweet caramel, dried fruits and, off course, mint (for me rather dried one). On the palate I get dominant salty caramel notes with some woody tannins and peaches with nectarines showing also in the finish. At the end they are accompanied by a bit of the mintiness.”
