Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a nice Agricole and the cask finish has been done to perfection. I love that you get both the Agricole as well as the wine notes at the same time. The wine cask is not dominant but just hovering in there. Fresh and oily on the palate with a very nice and long finish.
Review by John Coffey
Très belle découverte.. Le fut ne prend pas toute la place et c'est tant mieux.. Le mariage est vraiment intéressant et il y a une belle longueur..
Review by Christoph
A very elegant wine finish that harmonizes excellently with the Agricole and is neither dominant nor drowned in the freshness of the Agricole.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Un profil assez vineux, sur les fruits confits et le boisé. C'est très bien fait mais pas le profil qui me plaît le plus. C'est très gourmand
Review by TheFrenchRefill
Un vrai coup de cœur pour ce finish ! Au nez comme au palais c’est un vrai plaisir à déguster !
Review by Lawich Lowaine
