Just after its brother st james V&B. It's the same kind of Martinique profile, with a very present, greedy woodiness. This one is perhaps a little finer on the nose, a little spicier on the palate. It's an excellent martiniquais, but once again a profile that's perhaps too woody to enter the 90+ category.
Bally hat mich bis jetzt noch nie wirklich enttäuscht. Wieder einmal eine sehr gelungene Abfüllung. Danke an Rodolphe für den Split. Erfüllt alles das, was ich mir erwartet habe, mehr muss man dazu nicht sagen.
Bis auf Anfangs an der Nase (erst Gras, Steppe, pflanzlich) dann schnell in Klebstoff, Lack wechselnd, ein klassischer weicher Agricole. Der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden . Am Gaumen überwiegt der würzige pflanzliche Bereich mit minimalem Fruchtanteil. Der Abgang ist klar auf der grasigen pflanzlichen Seite und lässt kaum Spielraum für andere Aromen zu.
I really like it. It almost reminds me a little of a long-matured, tropical EMB.
