Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
09.02.2024 Nordlichter treffen. Retasting A very good and well balanced Agricole though it was very difficult to open it was definitely worth the hard work. Nose Light wood, round, floral, orange, dried fruit, Agricole, lig ght grass, light mint. Palate Balanced, warm, Agricole, medium dry, tannins, citrus. Finish Long, tannins, berries, grass, light mint. The empty glass has strong chocolate, and vanilla. ------------------- 08.08.2016 Bro Cafeen, Aarhus Small tasting with old friends on vacation. A very nice and well balanced JM. Fruity, roasted wood, cherry, earthy notes, well rounded and balanced.
Review by w00tAN
Fresh and fruity on the nose with great notes of aniseed and smoke. Beautifully round and complex but also quite soft. With a great finish that leaves a creamy aftertaste. A great sipper for a nice evening in front of the fireplace. Call me a philistine but unfortunately I don't see a 9 here.
Review by HenryL
Meet the Northern Lights, thank you Stefan for this special drop Eucalyptus-like freshness on the nose, with slightly grassy agricole and woody notes. On the palate it changes a little to mint and aniseed, paired with bright fruits and a surprising chocolate note
Review by Schnubbii
Wine gum on the nose, then light fruit on the palate, very delicate and floral. Somewhat restrained, also on the finish. Nice Agricole, but I don't see the very high scores here.
