Un Bally plus savoureux et aromatique que son comparse de 2005. Le nez est agréable, porté par des notes fruitées, végétales, florales, terreuses avec du tabac, du bois, du cuir et des épices. Le rhum est doux, facile à boire mais aromatique en bouche. La finale est moyennement longue sur les mêmes tonalités. Un Bally sympathique qui pourrait être encore meilleur avec plus de voltage.

A rather mild Agricole but still an Agricole nonetheless. Nice touch of oak and fruit with vanilla and caramel. There is a nice warmth on the palate but would have liked a higher ABV.

2e tasting : Après une moitié de bouteille, donc pas mal d'oxydation : en bouche, le boisé et le côté médicinale le rend assez moyen. Il est même un peu trop amère à mon goût. 1st tasting : Meilleur que ce à quoi je m'attendais. Manque toutefois de vivacité.

Light and sugared nose and you can instantly tell it’s an agricole. On the mouth there is again sugar and white chocolate. There is too much vegetal to be really great for my palatte but the sugar works well and the finish is really on the soft side which is enjoyable. Solid Agricole but a little bit limited

gänzlich anderes Profil, super viel zitrus sowohl in der Nase als auch im Geschmack, das ganze geht dann zum Abgang in Richtung weiße Schokolade mit zitrus Abrieb und Salzkaramell. lecker! aber auch nicht ganz so komplex wie der 2003.
