Review by Oliver
Very nice, round and balanced Agricole with toasty notes.
Review by Joachim Guger
Holz, röstig, getrocknete Früchte, leicht säuerlich und pflanzlich. Ausgewogen. Im Mund etwas würziger und holziger. Der Rum wärmt ordentlich, bevor sich ein unspektakulärer Abgang anschließt. Ein etwas besserer Standard Agricole.
Review by Tim
An Agricole with a fruity nose, where I smell sour fruits in addition to the dried fruits. In addition, sugar cane, wood and nut. In the mouth somewhat unspectacular, dry, toasty and dark chocolate, which continues pleasantly sweet in the finish with a little more fruit.
Review by Mike H.
Not the kind of agricole that I favor. Lots of nuts and wood, some dried fruits as well.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
clearly more wood here in the nose and otherwise some dried fruit. in the taste then me personally too much wood, almost burnt acting and notes of some cocoa, raisin and dried apricot, then again wood and tannins and astringent... a bit boring and uncomplex in comparison.
