Savanna 2006 Cuvee Maison Blanche 10-Year

Color: 4/5; Nose: 9/10. Taste: 15/20.

A beginning with almost only alcohol, but then an intense flavour of banana and citrus.

Eine Flasche Cuvée Maison Blanche hat mich den halben Weg durch Reunion begleitet.
Dies ist ein Melasse Rhum (Traditionnel), also kein Agricole (Créol).
Die Destillerie Savanna stellt beide Typen her.
Schönes Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase, frische Früchte liegen auf Moos gepolstert in einem Fass, mit Karamell übergossen und mit frisch gerösteten Gewürzen verfeinert.
Im Gaumen ein üppiger Fruchtteller mit Karamell und Vanille Creme und dezenten Holznoten. Fein, zart und perfekt ausbalanciert.
Im Abgang lang und edel. Früchte, Karamell und Gewürze klingen lange nach.
Ein toller Rhum für Geniesser der auch sehr gut zu Zigarren passt.

A bottle Cuvée Maison Blanche accompanied me halfway through Reunion.
This is a molasses Rhum (Traditionnel), not an Agricole (Créol).
The distillery Savanna produces both types.
Beautiful amber in a glass.
In the nose, fresh fruits lie on moss padded in a barrel, covered with caramel and refined with freshly roasted spices.
On the palate a rich fruit plate with caramel and vanilla cream and subtle wood notes. Fine, delicate and perfectly balanced.
In the finish long and noble. Fruits, caramel and spices linger for a long time.
A great rhum for connoisseurs that also goes very well with cigars.

Dark amber color. The nose is pastry with candied fruit, prunes. In the mouth, we are always on the same notes, it is very soft, not very complex and not very long. A little disappointed but the brand is beautiful and reserve other discovery ...

Typique réunion style... pas trop sucré, bien structuré, léger burning after taste mais agréable en bouche.

... but this is not possible here. Anyway: It looses a bit because alcool in the beginning, just before the oak (?) cask sets in. There is some sweetness in the finish, but not too much. If you like agricole, you will like this one.

Le Savanna 10 ans Maison Blanche est un super vieux rhum de la Réunion

Nota eterea molto forte, idrocarburi, petrolio? Poi arriva il tabacco, la liquirizia, vaniglia, cuoio... non si ferma più! In bocca è morbidissimo, più di quanto mi aspettassi. C'è anche della frutta matura.
Che buono!!!
