Wine Enthusiast 95 Points"Sunshine yellow color with vivid green highlights. A delicate inital nose, the middle pass offers lovely sweet grass and spice. On the palate, the entry is engagingly sweet even mellow, as it blankets the tongue. It's delicious, comforting and regal in the mouth. The aftertaste is long, more sweet than anything, more spicy than herbal."
Milder and sweeter than the famous Green Chartreuse, Yellow Chartreuse was introduced to the world in 1838. It also is presented in the traditional Chartreuse liqueur bottle embossed with the seal of La Grande Chartreuse. Its colour is entirely natural with no artificial flavours or preservatives. It, too, can be enjoyed neat or in a long drink.
The nosing passes pick up smells of aniseed, cardamom, licorice, hay, white pepper, floral/viny scents along with coriander, sage, and thyme. The palate entry is sweet, floral, peppery, and viny; the midpalate features fennel, rosemary, allspice, and bark. Ends up herbal sweet. (90-95)
