PAPALIN 6 ans HAITI EX SHERRY CASKS

$135.00

Derived from the blending of seven barrels from three clairin producers – Sajous, Vaval, Casimir – and aged in a barrel that previously held oloroso sherry from the famous Lustau house, this Papalin is dazzling in its fullness. Bright, its aromatic and gustatory palette immediately displays a maturity of expression that will not leave it throughout the tasting. Among the magnificent sequences that punctuate it, note its particularly radiant rancio, its chocolatey smoothness, and the oriental character of its spicy notes.

Tasting Notes


Colour: Copper-orange.

Nose : Ample, refined. Notes of apricot rancio, oxidative (cherry eau-de-vie), and tertiary (toasted walnut, precious wood, varnish) highlight the influence of the sherry cask brilliantly. With aeration, heady perfumes (orris concrete, sandalwood) and caramel aromas deeply permeate the aromatic palette.

Palate : Clear, lively. Chocolatey, the mouthfeel reveals a rooty (ginger), medicinal (cough drop) and slightly camphoraceous attack. Vegetal (sugar cane) and roasted, the mid-palate evolves towards notes of sugarcane and toffee.

Finish : Long, velvety. Fine fruit tannins (raisin, dried fig) gently envelop the palate. Oriental (curry, turmeric), the aftertaste becomes more powdery (cocoa). In retro-olfaction, saffron and nutmeg express the nobility of the gustatory palette.
