Review by Barnagricole
Very nice balance between wood, spices and gourmet.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Thinking about the price tag on this bottle you get a lot for your buck! The nose is fruity with roasted wood, sugarcane and vanilla and if you leave the empty glass you will also pick up a lovely chocolate note. The palate is also fruity with roasted wood, vanilla, chocolate and a hint of tobacco. The finish is medium long with wood, fruits, spices and a bit of tobacco.
Review by Ma_Lau
good but nose in adequacy with the mouth. very beautiful nose on roasted wine (port/madere). then a wiser mouth more classic. expensive for an 8 years old
Review by Tim
Runder Agricole, der ein komplexes und ausgewogenes Profil bietet. Sehr ansprechende Nase, jedoch wirkt das Mundgefühl etwas scharf und kräuterlastig. Ein langer Abgang hinterlässt schöne Aromen wie Honig, Trockenfrüchte, Kaffee und Holz.
Review by F.L.O.
Ordentlicher Rum aus Guadeloupe. Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. nuss, Karamell und Frucht liegen auf der Nase und dann auch deutlich im Mund. Kein Rum , den man braucht, aber ein Rum, den man gerne trinkt wenn er einem vor dîe Nase gesetzt wird
Review by Righrum
A nice solid agricole, well done on woody and chocolate notes.
Review by Jarek
Kleines Herzogenauracher Tasting in Flo‘s Keller: Den Karukera habe ich schon sehr lange im Schrank. Damals probier, als zu holzig empfunden und irgendwie vergessen. Heute empfinde ich das Holz als genau richtig und angenehm. Ein schöner Agricole auf der eher dunklen Seite. Aber auch hier gilt: etwas mehr Alkohol würde ihm gut stehen.
Review by DeMaddin
So, das zweite mal verkostet, muss doch hier meine Meinung etwas ändern. In der Nase und am Gaumen schöne holzige würzige Noten. Man merkt schon das es altes Holz war, in dem der Agricole gelagert wurde, die Tannine haben hier viel rausgeholt. Ein paar Volumenprozentebmehr mehr, täten ihn aber gut. Trotzdem ein guter und vor allem ausgewogener Agricole aus Guadeloupe.
