"Delicate, lightly honeyed and not overlysweet scents with a buttery/creamy quality. Palate entry is gooey, concentrated, chewy and numbingly sweet; the midpalate phase heightens the impressions of the entry. Aftertaste is scoop-out-with-spoon thick and tonsil-screamingly sweet." 85-89 pts.

"First aromas make me think peaches and blood oranges; later sniffings detect cotton candy and fabric. The gently fruity entry taste pleases the taste buds; at midpalate the peach component becomes more apparent as the orange element recedes. Finishes herbal, slightly honeyed, and more bittersweet than flat out sweet. Best Buy." 85-89 pts.

"Deep aromas of peppermint leaf, chicory, unsweetened chocolate, forest flowers and herb jump from the glass and follow thorough on a supple entry to a dryish full body with layers of cocoa-mint, peppery spice, sandalwood, and bitter roots and medicinal herbs. Finishes with a long, polished wood, peppermint oil, nutshell and bitter root fade. A powerful digestif."

"The aroma is a sweet/sour, tangerine/Mandarin orange perfume that never stops enchanting. At the palate entry the orange zest’s acidity mingles gracefully with the Cognac’s alcohol, making for delicious drinking. Satiny finish." 90-95 pts.

"The rounded bouquet features tropical fruit notes of banana and guava, smells of ripe grapes and kiwi and a subtle spiciness. The palate entry is luscious, gently fruity and keenly acidic; midpalate flavors include kiwi, white grapes, raisins, and a vegetal quality. Finish is ripe, delicately spiced, and delicious. An old favorite." 90-95 pts.

"With its beautiful sheer pink colour and sensuous bottle Nuvo exudes beauty & class. Nuvo allows people to celebrate the joy of life on a daily basis with a unique Sparkling Liqueur."

"The nosing passes find layers of aromas of honey, heather, pine needle, thyme and salty single malt Scotch whisky. Entry is thick, gently sweet but balanced by a fierce herbal quality; midpalate focuses on the whisky while the various herbs, spices and honey make merry around their whisky core. One of the best liqueurs available." 96-100 pts.

"The first sniffs scream “black currants”; further aeration brings out the scent of black currant nicely, without fanfare, jamminess or sweetness. Palate entry is tart, concentrated and curranty; the midpalate is more balanced in that the natural acids offset the intense preserves-like sweetness. Aftertaste is long, more bittersweet than sweet and luscious." 96-100 pts.
