Clairin - Le Rocher 2017 | Haitian Rhum Agricole

NOSE:
A bit feisty – you don’t need to get close to the glass to get a hit of white wine fruit and a touch of spice. A proper sniff brings sweeter notes, with roasted bananas and cream backed up by cooked agave and a touch of rich riverbank loam. Aniseed and white chocolate develop.

TASTE:
Softer and sweeter than expected from the Nose, with the bananas back and paired with sultanas and baked apples. Some darker, oily-engine notes hide at the back, with green and browning leaves, creamy custard and a touch of bitter liquorice bridging the gap.

FINISH:
Leafy spice and soft, sweet banana linger.

OVERALL:
A multi-faceted expression, with well-balanced light and dark notes.
