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 Benoit Mahe
A rather winey profile, on candied fruits and wood. It's very well made but not the profile I like most. It's very indulgent.
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 TheFrenchRefill
A real crush for this finish! Both on the nose and the palate, it's a real pleasure to taste!
Review by John Coffey
Very nice discovery.. The cask does not take over everything and that's just as well.. The marriage is really interesting and there is a nice length..
