Review by Christoph
The "prototype Agricole". On the one hand complex vegetable-fruity profile, on the other extremely balanced and in this case positively "flat" profile.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
You get a lot for your money here and I do recommend people to give it a try. I do know its not the top range but still a very good blend. Leave to rest for a while to get the full experience. The nose is fresh and intense with wood, vanilla and plum as well as light cocoa and roasted notes. The palate is well balanced with fruit, wood, vanilla, cocoa, tobacco and light nuts. The finish is medium to long with dried fruit, wood and chocolate. Leave the glass for a few hours and nose it again for even stronger flavours.

Rumfest 2023 tasting so notes were brief
Review by Oliver
Accessible, round Agricole. Uncomplicated. Pleases me well.
Review by Tupiaz
Næsen: blinde blomster noter, sødme, kryddert En let sødme i starten som overtages af en meget krydret smag. Det er en man god kan nyde i et stykke tid og finde nuancer i. Efter smagen er dog medium-kort.
Review by ElReyTristan
Nice nose, but a little too much on the tertiary aromas of the barrel. The fruitiness of the base juice has perhaps given way too much to the oak barrel. On the palate, it's still very woody and rather spicy, the pepper takes up a lot of space and the juice lacks roundness and deliciousness. The finish is moderately long but interesting, with some chocolate notes. Perhaps it should be enjoyed again with a gourmet cigar to counterbalance it.
Review by Slivomír
Vôňa je nádherná, výrazné drevo, huby, trochu medicinálna, čierne ríbezle, neskôr aj vanilka. Chuť je zaujímavá a príjemná, opäť drevo a bobuľové ovocie. Dozvuk je prekvapivo dlhý, na konci vyskočily červené ríbezle.
