COLOR BEFORE WATER 10/10
Crystal lake

LOUCHE ACTION 8/10
Lighter and slower than in regular Bovet

COLOR AFTER WATER 8/10
More blueish than expected.

AROMA 14/30
Herbal with some anethole buddies nuance

MOUTH-FEEL 6/10
Harsh, something adds the acid like feeling

TASTE 12/20
Wormwood and some other nice happenings, it is tasty, more absinthe than anisette unlike some of les bleues, still the harshness is something I am not so fond of and it is the factor for low score.

OVERALL IMPRESSION 6/10
The regular Bovet is better and smoother. Dear Willy, eliminate the harshness and it will be a nice and worth sipping absinthe.
