Review by William S
Pas seulement sur le boisé. Fruit confits et toriffié. J adore Bally mais le 2008 est vraiment très très bon et très accessible.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
10.07.2020 A nice tasting meeting new and old friends. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light, floral, light wood, light citrus, sugarcane, light nutty, coconut. Palate Lightly oily, fresh, light wood, light floral, faint honey, light chocolate, nutts, light coconut. Finish Short to medium, light, light wood, fruits, faint chocolate, faint salt.
Review by Oliver
Interesting aromatics. Here floral notes come together with peanuts and fennel.Lots of wood on the palate and quite dry. Due to the dilution, the finish is unfortunately relatively flat. All in all, however, a successful Agricole, which will please lovers of barrel-heavy Agricole.
Review by milone
Much too woody. The latter dominates and crushes everything.
