Mischung aus röstigen und fruchtigen/blumigen Noten. Alles noch nicht so harmonisch und komplex wie bei den 1998ern. Aber insgesamt durchaus gelungen.

Probiert als 5cl Sample. In der Nase ne ordentliche Portion toter Früchte, insb. Kirschen. Dazu frisches Holz und dunkle Schokolade. Grasige Agricole Noten sind nur sehr dezent zu erahnen. Am Gaumen setzen sich holzige Aromen fort. Dazu kommt ein Hauch Limette, Vanille, Kakao und Rosinen. Im Abgang passiert recht wenig. Insgesamt ein einfach zu trinkender aber leckerer Agricole. Edit: mit längerer Zeit im Glas kommen die pflanzlichen agricole Noten sowohl am Gaumen, als auch an der Nase dann doch durch.

Eine gelungene Überraschung. Tolle Agricole Noten, frische Zuckerrohrsaft-Noten mit Walnuss und Vanille, fein würziger und leicht trockener Abgang. Alkohol mit fast 52% perfekt eingebunden. Wunderbarer Daily Sipper der Spaß macht und nicht überfordert. Für die gezahlten 99€ eine Kaufempfehlung, falls noch aufzutreiben.

Got a big Scotch single malt whisky vibe from this one. A grower yet a bit fierce in the beginning.

A nice Damoiseau! Nose is fruity (mainly citrusy) with a tiny bit of spices and varnish/alcool but in a nice manner. On the palate you've got these green, peppery, flambeed bananas all over the place. A nice herbal freshness (Aloe Vera) melted with spices, green olives, brine and some licorice. Round and gourmand. The final is medium and a bit drying, that's were the balance goes more in favor of the oak but it did the job pretty well! The price is sweet too!
