La Favorite Cuvée Privilège Pour Lulu 1999
Sip this one neat, and give it 30–45 minutes to open — several tasters say the glass turns from a bit sharp to floral, fruity and rounded. You get cooked sugarcane, oak, vanilla, pepper and dark prunes, with orange peel and a light bitterness on a medium finish. A classic, balanced Martinique agricole that many feel is a touch too gentle for a 20-year-old.

The look inside the bottle
How does La Favorite Cuvée Privilège Pour Lulu 1999 taste?
Aggregated from 51 community reviews.
Balanced aged agricole, gentle for its age Well-liked, balanced old agricole with sugarcane, oak and spice. The recurring gripe: it drinks mild and "lacks a bit of power" for its age — subtle where some wanted more punch.

I have already ordered the latest release of this wonderful Agricole Well rounded, balanced and complex. Less powerful than the Flibuste, but in a very pleasant way. Fruity with nuts and spices well balanced with the oak and tobacco.

Laisser aérer 30 à 45 minutes pour éviter d’avoir une bouche piquante et acide Nez : Léger pain d’épices Cassonade Et au bout de l’aération… Citron vert voire bergamote Ananas mûre Bouche : Léger hydromel, ressemblance avec un calvados hors d’âge Tabac Longueur trop moyenne

Ein guter Agricole. Klare Kaufempfehlung
Review by Thunderbird
A very good Agricole, which, with more volume would have been rated much higher! He has the flavor profile of everything that distinguishes a good Agricole, but somehow too dear 🙃. Something more expression would have stood him excellent
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un rhum agricole équilibré qui s’ouvre sur un nez pâtissier, avec le sucre de la canne, le bois, les épices et des notes florales. Après aération, les fruits sont plus présents (fruits jaunes, agrumes, abricot et pruneaux notamment). On retrouve un profil typique agricole en bouche, avec une pointe de tabac, des épices, du miel, des notes fruitées, végétales et boisées. La finale, assez longue se concentre sur le côté floral et végétal, avec des notes terreuses et herbeuses, une légère amertume qui prédomine sur le bois, la canne à sucre et les fruits. Un rhum subtil au profil varié et agréable, mais dont on pourrait attendre davantage pour un rhum de ce calibre.
Review by Jarek
Auch bei der zweiten Verkostung nicht dazugewonnen. Kein schlechter Agricole, aber auch nicht überragend.
Review by RumTaTa
Seit langem habe ich mal wieder einen Agricole im Glas. Die ausgewogene Nase gefällt mir schon sehr gut, besonders die Orangenaromen. Am Gaumen leicht bitter aber das passt zu zur Orangenschale. Insgesamt recht mild mit 45%. Der Nachklang ist mittellang und harmoniert mit den Aromen an Gaumen Nichts unerwartetes hier und ein sehr solider Rum aus Zuckerrohrsaft.
Review by Mathieu C.
Nez très intéressant et équilibré, rond, gourmand Non retrouvé en bouche, boisé trop prédominant, amertume Longueur plus faible qu'attendue étant donné le vieillissement très long
Review by Harald
Farbe: Hellbraun Geruch: Süß, aromatisch und fruchtig. Aromen von Vanille, Orange und Heu. Geschmack: Süß und würzig im Mund. Beim Schlucken dann pfeffrig und leicht scharf. Aromen von Vanille, Ingwer und Holz. Abgang: Mittellang Würzig und trocken. Ingwer, holzig, leicht medizinisch-kräuterig. 85 Punkte

Très subtile

Manque un peu de watts
Review by Jacques etdom
Un beau nez boisé, sur la canne cuite, un peu de pomme. La bouche suit le nez avec un peu de poivre et toujours ce beau boisé de fond de calle. Un léger piquant d alcool qui vient rehausser le tout. Un très bel agricole.
