PORT MOURANT 32 ans 1990 New Vibrations Silver Seal

Nose : Both refined and heady. A combination of cane sugar, sugar cane and bourbon vanilla, the first nose is impressively full and fresh. Allowed to breathe, the aroma palette becomes exotic (pineapple, banana), mentholated and medicinal (arnica). Fine notes of sleet, ripe fruits and lava add to the telluric dimension.

Appearance : Jaune doré.

Palate : Full, well-balanced. With vanilla and syrupy (grape) smoothness, the attack is seeped in flavours of coconut milk, almond paste and roasted pineapple. On the mid-palate, white fruits (peach, pear) flood the taste buds with their deliciously tangy juices.

Overall : Long, rich. At the start of the finish, notes of lavender honey add a floral dimension to the flavour palette. Evoking freshly cut sugar cane, the after-taste is especially expressive. At the very end of the finish, fresh ginger and nutmeg shower the tongue.
