PAPALIN 10 ans REUNION

Nose : Elegant, complex. On the first nose, a magnificent sequence of orange and chocolate fragrances sets the tone for a promising tasting. Allowed to breathe, very ripe mangos, mineral notes (schist) and hydrocarbon vapours add admirably to the aroma palette.

Appearance : Vieil or à reflets cuivrés.

Palate : Noble, invigorating. On the attack, the oranges from the nose release their fresh and tangy juices. The more rooty mid-palate (ginger, gentian) is also rich (hot cane sugar). The end of the palate reveals a sophisticated apricot aspect (stone).

Overall : Long, distinguished. The powdery finish (cocoa, red tea) revisits all the fruits from the nose and the palate. Toffee and oak stave flavours feed a very consistent mid-palate. The end of the finish is naturally fibrous and vegetal (cane).
