"Dieser Montebello ist total unausgewogen … Die Nase geht ja noch: relativ süß und fruchtig, aber am Gaumen: pflanzlich, wie junger Agricole, dann. Holzig würzig und süß ! Nichts passt wirklich zusammen, er schmeckt eher wie ein Blend aus verschiedenen Jahrgängen, leider Daumen runter 👎🏻"
"Super sweet agricole. Toffee/tonka bean/dried hay/vanilla pods and biscuit dough. Reminds blind rather of reimonenq. Very delicate, elegant and neither too dry nor too sweet. Also an unusually low alcohol content for such a young brut de fut! Overall, however, really harmonious and dangerously drinkable with enough character to remain exciting."
"Verführerische Nase mit schöner Fruchttiefe und Würzaromatik. Am Gaumen dagegen leider sehr flach - Gewürze, etwas Holz, der Rest des Profils ist sehr übersichtlich und mir schlichtweg zu uninspiriert. Auch hier zeigt sich: Für mich gewinnen Montebellos mit der Reifung."
"A good representative of Guadeloupe in cask strength. Very sweet, so pleasant and easy to sip. Personally, it's not the style of Agricole I prefer."
