    I was curious to check off Montebello, but I’m not sure what to make of it. It feels underpowered and not particularly flavoursome.

    Schöne Komplexität mit Holz, Gewürzen, grünen Noten. Tolles Agricole-Profil, dem auch die reduzierte Stärke gut zu Gesicht steht. Ansprechender Guadeloupe-Vertreter auf der eher pflanzlichen Seite, man muss das etwas ungewöhnliche Profil mögen, wer etwas für Agricole übrig hat, sollte das Release probiert haben.

    Spamming with a few older tastings that I haven't added yet. Pretty good release but I would have loved a higher ABV. Overall balance is OK but expected more from a release this old.

    Since I don't like aniseed and this bottling seems to have a lot of it, I can't do anything with it.
