"Compared to the 2014, the floral note is hardly noticeable here. Otherwise similar on the nose, fresh fruit, light woody sweetness and herbs. On the palate, after the initial freshness, a floral, soapy note emerges again - with increasing time in the glass - which initially stands out with every sip and unfortunately makes it difficult for me to enjoy. In the finish, the soapy note recedes into the background. Smokiness, herbs and spices dominate, while the typical profile remains discernible. After the second attempt, I revise my original rating somewhat, as the soapy note is less present than I had originally perceived, at least in the finish. Nevertheless, I can't give it a good rating because I find the soapy note simply annoying."
"Beautiful, young, classic Saint James."
"Franconian Tasting Gang on 10.05.2024 First of all, a big thank you to DomM for providing this set. Personally, I didn't like the profile. With one exception, this soap flavor is too much for me. But thanks to DomM and Serge, the leftovers from the glasses ended up in a spontaneous and outstanding cocktail."
"I like the nose very much. Citrus fruits, macaroons, fine spice. The mouth continues in a similar way, very peppery and crisp. Floral perfume. Very good Agricole, easy to drink. Oscillates between floral perfume and floral soap."
