Raison Personnelle 2.2 41%

Same pedigree, blend of early 2010s vintage. GC (Angeac terroir) bottled in 2021-22. Let’s go!

Colour: Orange, gold lights. Medium irregular tears.

Nose: Candied citrus notes and a tad of nutty scents too. Vinous notes and a touch of raisin as well. Opulent orchard notes in the background, gently lifted by light fresh spice notes.

Palate: Light texture, carrying a tad of warm spice, mainly caraway. Quite a sharp profile, still focused on raw orchard notes and vivid citrus shades. Hints of nutty notes in the aftertaste. Chalky impressions too.

Last Notes: Vivid citrus notes again, this time on lime and bergamot. A tad of liquorice. Back on the palate, you get a wave of freshness on peppermint and cardamom. It ends on pistachio and candied citrus aromas.

Bold energy of pure chalky terroir, but I’m not a huge fan of this kind of blend, where I miss precision, depth and fun.

My very subjective note: 82/100
