"Thinking about the price tag on this bottle you get a lot for your buck! The nose is fruity with roasted wood, sugarcane and vanilla and if you leave the empty glass you will also pick up a lovely chocolate note. The palate is also fruity with roasted wood, vanilla, chocolate and a hint of tobacco. The finish is medium long with wood, fruits, spices and a bit of tobacco."

"Runder Agricole, der ein komplexes und ausgewogenes Profil bietet. Sehr ansprechende Nase, jedoch wirkt das Mundgefühl etwas scharf und krätuerlastig. Ein langer Abgang hinterlässt schöne Aromen wie Honig, Trockenfrüchte, Kaffee und Holz."
