Engenhos do Norte RA Agricola Madeira Island 2016

One taster called it "a nice sipper" that reads like a mix of Spanish and French style — and that captures it. Red wine dominates the nose, backed by grape, cherry and young oak, then the cane-juice, grassy agricole side shows up on the finish. Fruity and creamy for its youth, though the red-wine cask influence splits people hard.

First try: OK, got impressionsof cherries, but will wait for the final verdict on the second session. 2nd Tasting: nicer overall, like a mix of Spanish and French style. It comes very fruity, I got lots of cherry, has the Spanish style middle and an Agricole finish. A nice sipper.

8.2/10

Ein sehr von (Rot-)Wein geprägter Rum mit viel Traube und roten, säuerlichen Früchten und Holz. Es handelt sich um einen Agricole, was man auch an erdigen/pflanzlichen Noten und dem Zuckerrohr bemerkt, allerdings ist der Rum vergleichsweise mild und fruchtig im Mund. Hätte ein paar Punkte mehr bekommen, aber der Rotwein an der Nase und die pflanzlichen Noten im Abgang sind zu dominant für meinen Geschmack. Eine Flasche findet man nicht mehr, zum Glück aber noch eine Probe! War ein spitzen Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis.

In der Nase dominieren Pflaume, reife Brombeeren und junges Holz, der Alkohol ist dezent wahrnehmbar und erinnert mich an alten Armagnac Am Gaumen ist zuerst eine angenehme Süße präsent! Der Rum verteilt sich cremig, mild und leicht im Mundraum ! Der Alkohol ist kaum spürbar! Überrascht bin ich von den röstigen und eher schweren Aromen mit angenehmer bittriger Tendenz! Wie lang gezogener Tee!. Das hat was! Der Abgang ist mittellang und setzt den Eindruck des Gaumen sanft fort! Sehr schöner Rum

Pretty nice release and at a good price tag. Fruity and nice spices with an oily lightly dry palate.

9. Tag Weihnachtskalender. Blind! Erster Eindruck Rotwein! Später kommt dann aber deutlicher Agricole durch. Nase: eine fruchtige Mischung aus Schwarzer Johannisbeere und Sauerkirsche, süß, aber auch metallisch-frisch. Daneben ist der Geruch aber auch etwas gedeckt, etwas buttrig. Erinnert mich deutlich an trockenen Rotwein, holzig hinten raus. Gaumen: zunächst Tannine. Fruchtig, Sauerkirsche, Traube, etwas Süße von Honig. Der Alkohol kommt kräftig aber nicht unangenehm daher. Erinnert an einen Trester. Etwas Würze, Lakritz, etwas holzig-bitter. Hinten leicht grasig und Zuckerrohrsaft.

Schöner, unaufgeregter Agricole. Für das junge Alter kommt der Einfluss der Fasslagerung schon spürbar durch, die frischen Noten treffen auf ein dezentes, aber austariertes Zusammenspiel von Nugat, Bitterkeit und etwas Würzschärfe. Schwere Fruchtsüsse rundet die Aromatik ab. Gelungen, trotzdem gefallen mir die älteren Madeira-Rums noch einen Ticken besser. Vielleicht kommt da ja auch mal was von Rum Artesanal...? 😀

Super fruchtig in der Nase. Traube, Kirsche und dabei Anklänge von holzigem Rotwein. Dabei hat er aber trotzdem eine fast Thymianartige Frische und etwas vanillig-süßes. Im Mund eine interessante Mischung aus Agricole und Rotwein. Sagt mir aber nicht wirklich zu. Etwas schade, da in der Nase neben dem Rotwein der Engenhos wie ich ihn liebe noch klar zu erkennen ist, im Mund leider für mich nicht wirklich stimmig.
