    Good value for money. This Dillon was the one that made me increase my Dillon shelf. The nose is rather sharp with aromas of chocolate and hints of fruit, wood and spices. At the palate it’s complex, round, woody, sweet and smooth with flavors of chocolate, vanilla and coffee.

    Rhum Agricole mit Top-PLV!

    Tasting evening at Dr.Django: This Agricole from Dillon is too much on the perfumed floral side for me...on the nose as well as on the palate...there is also an artificial side to the palate. The finish is relatively short and unspectacular

    Auto-translated

    Wow. Impressive with the 40%. Super velvety and full-bodied. Great older Agricole with lots of sweet tea and grass notes.
