    14-02-2025 Tasted blind One of the best Savanna I have tasted

    Schon mehrfach im Glas gehabt und immer wieder ein Erlebnis. In der Nase schreit einem der alte Grand Arôme seine Identität förmlich entgegen. Sehr konzentriert, Elixir-artig. Die lange Zeit im Fass ist deutlich spürbar, Holz-Saft mit Leim und Erdbeer-Gummibärchen. Am Gaumen ebenfalls sehr konzentriert, als wäre er einreduziert worden. Hier kommt eine Portion Säure dazu, wie Limettenschale. Trotzdem bleibt das Wechselspiel zu Haribo Primavera und weißen Gummibärchen. Holz ist definitiv auch da, die 17 Jahre tropische Lagerung gehen nicht spurlos vorüber... als hätte man das Fass gleich mit ausgequetscht. Konzentriert, intensiv, facettenreich. Elixir de Réunion. Abgang: Bleibt lange. Die Säure zieht sich zurück und es bleiben Erdbeeren, ein Hauch Leim und Eichensaft.

    Much better IMHO than the 2000 19y rare cask savanna. Much more fruit and grand aroma style! Passion fruit, strawberry, papaya and mango in combination with black tea and eucalyptus, as well as cinnamon, vanilla and olive brine. Surprisingly, the 17y in the barrel are more in the background here. Overall, really very balanced and delicious!

    Lots of overripe fruit. Lots of wood influence, but not too bitter. An outstanding Grand Arôme.
