Bielle 2006 5-Year

N- Cool mint chocolate, eucalyptus, grassy screwpine and pandan. Seasoned leather from the cask and citrus-y zest. Aged mellowing sulphur that evolved to oily scents of salted egg yolk, emerged subtly after breathing in the glass (No, I m not drunk) / (23/25)

P- Pleasantly bold and tight at just 42%, exceptional resinous dry and fine restrained raisin sweetness grace the palate. Along with scents of husky new make and green cereal. Blade-y acid lift the flavour a level up for a good return on the nose. A sense of smokes and tar. (21/25)

F- Medium-long, smooth. Waxy and spicy. Tangerine peels, grapefruits and even some lime oil. (21/25)

Balanced- Always enjoy the lifting sharpness and originality effects of agricole, and Bielle has been good for me thus far. Neat, properly aged, no deceiving label and packaging, good as it is. Great to see more of this. (22/25)

Weighted Rate:- 87pt

Nice light amber colour. The nose is very pastry on almond, brown sugar, citrus fruit, candied fruit. On the palate, vanilla, butter and wood are present. Not very long in the mouth. It is a rum well done but not exceptional. Real rate : 7,5

Très bonne surprise. Bouteille achetée au hasard. Petite merveille avec un goût de reviens y

Nice golden colour...light ..fresh..fruity..spices..

Rum con un buon gusto di frutta fresca anche se la parte alcolica in un primo momento è un po troppo invadente

Beaux arômes de Rhum antillais, typiques de la maison Bielle. Un rhum sec vieilli en fûts de bourbon et de cognac et ramené à 42% ce qui lui confère une certaine légèreté par rapport aux autres rhums du domaine, un peu trop à mon goût personnel, mais je conçois que cela peut plaire à d'autres.
