Very nice Agricole with a lot of wood influence. Beautiful red fruit on the nose. Dry on the palate and slightly astringent on the finish. I like it very much. Priced a little high.
Beautiful, concentrated color! Very varnished nose, like new furniture wood varnish. But the nose evolves as it oxidizes. Finishes now on notes of butter, Breton shortbread. On the other hand, the palate is very whisky and remains whisky 🥃 !
Einer der süffigsten Agricoles für mich, unglaublich geschmeidig und einfach lecker. Selten so gut eingebundene Prozente gehabt.
Hard to define on the nose at first, then a mixture of fresh fruit, wood and spices. Pepper on the tongue, rather toasty and woody on the palate, then the sugar cane comes through. Long finish, goes into the nose, the pepper remains but does not bite
