3.5/5

FRAPIN VS 40%

Back to basics (3/5)

The youngest Frapin on the market. Let’s go!

Colour: Old Gold. Medium tears

Nose: Hazelnut cream. Old cardboard. Then more pleasant with young pears. A very little of honey. Peach syrup and few pastry scents for final notes. 

Palate: Light texture (watery). Fresh lemon juice. Chestnut dust. A little gluey and cardboard-y. A tad of roundness on final notes, something like apple syrup. 

Last Notes: Chestnut cream. A great dash of vanilla. Orange zest. Ending on maple syrup and prunes juice.  

My very subjective note: 73+/100

With 1,5cl of tonic: Roasted almonds. Pistachio. Chestnuts. Caramel. An enthusiast nose. Let’s see the palate’s answer. Dry chestnuts. Grapefruit juice. Dry prunes. Hints of fruits to finish. Very efficient. It works. 

Frapin VS note (very subjective and just for fun) with 1,5cl of tonic (/100): 77/100

The Big Match with the most famous VS cognacs
