Paulet Borderies Tres Vieilles 47%

And here we are. The last one. Ranked many times above 95pts by the Norwegian geeks. Just for this reason, as you can guess, I had very high expectations on this Paulet Borderies Tres Vieilles.

Colour: Dark amber, gold lights. Irregular medium tears. 

Nose: You get a pure musky rancio at first. Very HRR style. Intense candied citrus notes melted to an evolutive rancio. 

Mouth: Waxy, tea-ish, infinite refined leathery notes. Hints of green Chatreuse aromas, as you get this typical sweet freshness. Deep cognac, you dive in your glass for hours with this kind of gem. Endless mouth length.

Last Notes:  Very bright profile, with stunning tangerine juice notes. Fresh basil scents in the background. Vivid and deep at the same time. Lingering tabasco notes too. Humidor scents with air. Marvelous evolution through the tasting.

It’s very close to 93 in my opinion. Everything is here. But I don’t know why, I didn’t get the same emotion that I get with the Hermitage, the Paul Beau or the Dielen’s Prunier.
