With a series that left us rather unmoved when it was first released, as at the time expensive NAS bottles were deeply shocking, and the attempts to replicate the past even more so. Like the improbable ‘replicas’ or… this little series. Of course, we’ve already drunk and even tasted...

Nose: yes, it speaks more clearly, with apple and plum juices, a hint of ham, and dried fruits like longans and jujubes. The aromas remain, however, quite moderate. Mouth: nothing to fault, it’s good, with honey and orchard fruits, plums for example. Finish: medium and somewhat ...
