Famille Ricci Ten Cane Zodiac Vierge 2023 2008
Sipped neat, this leans dark and spicy: dark chocolate, dried figs, roasted almonds and a caramelized brown-sugar edge over plenty of oak. At 63% it runs hot, and several tasters found the alcohol not fully tucked in. Fans loved the "longueur folle" — a very long finish — while others wanted more fruit and balance. A single-cask Ten Cane pot still, aged 15 years.
The community says- Very long finish

How does Famille Ricci Ten Cane Zodiac Vierge 2023 2008 taste?
Aggregated from 40 community reviews.
Dark, spicy Trinidad sipper with big finish Well liked as a dark, chocolate-and-dried-fruit Trinidad sipper with a huge finish. The catch a few name: the 63% heat can feel sharp and the profile stays one-directional.

Édit : fraise et framboise avec l’oxydation, mais il manque un petit quelque chose pour que ce soit exceptionnel. Ancienne note : une belle bouteille chez Ricci ! Je n’avais pas encore goûté de Ten Cane. Ici c’est un profil très sombre, chocolat, épices, fruits secs ainsi qu’un côté pêche de vigne très sympathique. Ça reste globalement assez droit, il n’y a pas forcément de grande surprise mais une longueur folle ! C’est également la cuvée anniversaire de mon fils :)

Based on the very high ratings, I would have expected more. Overall, somewhat one-sided in the dark and spicy direction. For a higher rating, I miss more fruit, balance and better integrated alcohol. Seems a bit beastly.
Review by Jakob
Only picks me up to a limited extent. Rather spice-heavy, with wood, dried fruit and roasted almonds. Similar on the palate, a little too spicy on the finish. Doesn't really get me subjectively.
Review by Jacques etdom
Well, I'll be damned! What dynamite our alpha has unearthed yet again! The nose is very fruity, with lots of blackberries and a hint of caramel. Peach follows. On the palate, it clicks straight away: blackberry accompanied by red fruit, fairly bitter chocolate and a hint of caramelized brown sugar. A beautiful bitterness that counterbalances the fatness. The sting in the back of the throat reminds me a little of New Grove. But how good it is! The finish is very long and pleasant. This juice could clearly have been included in the exception range.

Visite dans les nouveaux locaux de Ricci : on étais les premiers ! Profil Ten cane typique de 2008 mais avec un beau boisé qui lui donne de la complexité.

Un alcool peut être un poil trop présent, mais une aromatique, une rondeur et une finale très gourmande. Superbe longueur.
Review by Orfer Santos
Très belle bouteilles de chez ricci, habituellement ça peut être surprenant mais avec ce 15ans d'âge c'est un rhum très réussi, un super rapport qualité/prix. On aimerait avec un caisse de ce genre produit pour collectionner ce type de rhum !!!

Bohužel mi to připomíná Chamarel nebo aspoň tu divnou složku, která kazí celkový dojem.
Review by MarkF
Nejprve nadějná vůně, potom i první doušek. Pak mi s každým dalším začalo něco čím dál víc vadit. Je tam taková ostrost, možná lihovost, kdy ten rum není úplně dobře integrován. A to se jedná o “bylinkový” Trinidad , které obecně velmi můžu - a taky mám hodně s čím srovnávat.
