“87 points. A very nice Bellevue, one of the best that I have sampled so far. I love the nose, lots of fruit in addition to rubber, some wood and spices. The rum is very nice on the palate as well, a little less fruit but more spices.”

“The third in today's '98 Bellevue tasting and for me the winner. It has the greater complexity. In addition to the classic fruit/spice aromas, it also contains something smoky, dirty and red fruits. I really like this one”
