Heritage Rene Riviere Venerable 40%

Heritage Rene Riviere Venerable 40%

And another HRR then. This time an OB from Mr Vidal’s collection. 

Colour: Mahogany, gold lights. Regular medium tears.

Nose: Delicate kind of Borderies. Dry flowery scents. Subtle white pepper notes surrounded by strong licorice shades. 

Mouth: Light texture. Sharp but very aromatic profile. Ample floral notes, full of violet syrup. But there is an obvious lack of body to carry this delicate kind of cognac.

Last Notes: Even with air it remains focused on floral notes. Hints honeyed tones in the background.

Well, I have to admit that I was expecting a bit more of this one. Delicious et delicate kind of Borderies, but regarding its lack of body, I can”t score it above 90. 

Whole tasting session

89/100
