Rhum J.M 2003
Sip this one neat and give it time in the glass — several tasters say it opens up after resting. You get floral and grassy agricole notes, a little orange, vanilla and roasted spice, with tobacco and leather underneath. Not too sweet, nicely rounded. The recurring gripe: the finish runs thin and short, and a few wish it hit harder.

How does Rhum J.M 2003 taste?
Aggregated from 34 community reviews.
Floral, grassy agricole with a short finish Most find it a pleasant, floral vintage agricole with fruit and spice. The common catch: a thin, short finish and a touch light on power — a couple call it one-dimensional.

Excellent nose - dark, toasty and intense. Great roastiness and pleasant sweetness on the palate. A bit wild on the palate. Only the finish is unfortunately too thin.

Auf den Punkt gebracht: flüssiges scharfes Kräuterbonbon. Ausführlicher: Kräuter, grüne Noten und Eukalyptus, unangenehme scharfe Note, hinten raus noch etwas Süße (vermutlich vom Fass). Das Ganze ist wenig komplex, sondern einfach nur kräutrig und scharf.
Review by Joachim Guger
Wird, wie viele Agricoles, bei halbleerer Flasche besser.
Review by Johannes
Trifft nicht ganz meinen Geschmack. Etwas eindimensional und sprittig.
Review by Jarek
Verkostet zusammen mit paar anderen Agricoles aus Martinique. Alle fast eine Stunde im Glas atmen lassen. An der Nase etwas Frucht, am Gaumen überwiegen Gras und Gewürze. Sehr angenehner Agricole. Auch hier könnten paar Prozente mehr auch paar Punkte mehr einbringen.
Review by alex
C’est bon c’est gourmand mais manque de complexité et longueur un peu courte.
Review by Agricoler
Outstanding agricole, especially beautiful the slightly floral tones in combination with light sweetness and orange. Wonderfully spicy and herbal agricole on the palate and finish.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Wirklich schöner runder Vintage agricole.
Review by Rumclub Latvia
Decent rhum
Review by Léo Delek
On a le floral et fruité qui dominent avec en filigrane un bois fin qui vient structurer le tout. De la pomme, fruits a noyaux (prune/pruneau) avec quelques épices (muscade et canelle) et de la noisette donnent un bon équilibre entre le côté gourmand et la fraîcheur (fleurs blanches/cerisier avec une note subtile de menthol qui perdure sur la longeur). Aucune agressivité de l'alcool. Un rhum très glouglou qui donne envie d'y revenir et qui procure bcp de plaisir.
Review by John Coffey
C'est bon mais finale trop courte et manque de complexité..
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Le nez est sur les fruits tropicaux extravagants qui viennent magnifier un fond vanillé-caramélisé ! Au second plan, on retrouve des épices et plus particulièrement du poivré. C’est doux mais attractif sur la cerise. En bouche, c’est rond, élégant, léger, fin et très équilibré. Les fruits (cerise-pomme-poire) mènent la danse et des notes de moka et de poivre les accompagnent. La finale est douce, subtile et longue sur les épices avec une pointe de menthol. Certains diront qu’il est un peu plat, qu’il manque de puissance!? Oui c’est vrai, mais c’est bon et gourmand.
