    Und hier unser Überraschungskandidat. Sascha hat 2003 „reingemogelt“, um zu schauen, wie er im Vergleich zu den älteren Jahrgängen abschließt. Birne, etwas Holz, Leder und der gleiche Klebstoff wie bei 1960 und 1982 ist in der Nase wahrnehmbar – sehr intensiv und gehaltvoll. Der Gaumen ist weder in die Kategorie jung noch alt einzuordnen. Birne, Holz, etwas schmutziges/erdiges und das alles in einer nicht alkoholischen Intensität, die ich sehr begrüße. Ein langer, angenehmer Abgang runden diesen tollen Rum ab. 88 Punkte

    Belle couleur cuivrée. Mais tout est moyen, le nez comme en bouche, presque fade. Je ne suis pas fan du bouchon en liège blanchi et ciré, je trouve que cela imprègne l'alcool. Il a certes un parfum agréable, mais plus digne d'un VO. Décevant, pour un millésimé agricole. Il y a plus de longueur et de goût dans un JM terroir volcanique de 3 ans à 30euros ... La finale est très courte.

    Really great AgricoleVery balanced and relaxed
