    "A typical and nicely balanced Agricole. I would have loved a higher ABV though. Draws really nice curtains on the glass. Price to quality can be argued."

    "Adventskalender La Route des Rhums 2023 Nr. 24. Der letzte :-( Hier der La Salle von Saint James. Ist holzig und röstig in der Nase mit einem Hauch Minze. Am Gaumen kommt dann ebenfalls die Minze gut zum Vorschein. Besser wir der Durchnitts 43%ige."
