Bielle LMDW 2001

Nearly everyone rates this Bielle highly, but tasters split on the finish: some love the depth of dried figs, dates and prunes over charred, leathery oak, while a few find it "zu bitter" and drying at the end. It's an aged agricole that drinks dark and heavy — black tea, tobacco, dark chocolate, coffee, with violet and citrus peel showing after time in the glass.

The community says
  • Dried fruit depth

The look inside the bottle

How does Bielle LMDW 2001 taste?

Aggregated from 18 community reviews.

Dark, dried-fruit aged agricole, slightly bitter finish Widely loved single cask — deep, spicy and beautifully balanced with the alcohol tucked in. The one real gripe: several find the charred oak a touch bitter and dry on the finish.

Perfect for

Drinkers who like heavy, dry, aged agricole with dried-fruit and oak

Less suitable for

Anyone wanting a soft, sweet sipper or put off by bitter oak

Mal wieder ein klasse Bielle von LMDW, der allerdings nicht ganz die Güte bereits vorhandener Abfüllungen erreicht. Mir fehlt hier etwas die Tiefe und Komplexität. Das ist allerdings meckern auf hohem Level. Es bleibt ein hervorragender Rum

9,2:On the nose, the first impression we get is very thick, balanced combination of woody and fruity notes as dried dates, figs, raisins, the wood is charred with leather, caramel, nuts, spices.A sugarcane is syrupy, dark with black tea, licorice, tobacco and some mint.We certainly notice red fruits from red wine notes.. On aeration, citrus is out, some flowery notes, chocolate and coffee, as bourbon ageing notes are stronger.It comes very balanced and round. 9:On the palate, the attack is delicious with charred wood notes like caramel, chocolate, coffee, nuts, later toffee and different fruits like dried apricots, prunes, raisins, figs.The sugarcane is syrupy and spicy with tobacco, flowery violet. The combination of bourbon, red wine, sauternes ageing is attacking our tasting buds from all angles. We are enjoying very balanced and round rum with juicy peaches, red fruits, berries etc. 9:The finish is very long, tasty as sugarcane is a bit waxy, earthy, still thick with black tea, flowery notes, the wood still charred, spicy.The fruits are red, citrus and dried.

Ölig und schwer kommt er daher 😄. Sehe dunkle Farbe . Zuerst sollte Rum viel Zeit im Glas bekommen denn er braucht schon einiges an Zeit um sich zu öffnen und die Anfangs bissige Nase etwas zu zügeln. Nase Sehr Florale noten . Viel Trockenobst/ Steinobst . Dunkle Schokolade. Ordentlich Holz Malz gebrannten Zucker und Karamell. Gaumen Dickflüssig... Alkohol immernoch präsent. Hier auch Steinobst , Tannine , Schokolade und viele Florale notes . Leichte Karamellnoten . Abgang relativ trocken und bitter ...

Sehr schöner Bielle mit Trockenfrüchten (Aprikose), Gewürzen, Lakritze, Veilchen und im Vergleich zur ebenfalls sehr gute Rasta Morris Abfüllung bringt er noch eine leicht bittere Holznote mit. Vor allem im Abgang. Auch relativ wenig Süße.

Rhum Bielle LMDW 2001 X-Tasting: Ein einzigartiges Set welches Daniel hier ausgegraben hat. Mit zunehmender Zeit wird dieser Rum immer komplexer, die Aromen intensiver. Man kann gefühlt ewig an dem Glas sitzen und entdeckt neue Aromen! Dieser hat eine etwas würzigere Gesamtnote. Alkohol wirklich perfekt eingebracht!

9.0/10

Ha un colore bello scuro e lucente, al naso è profondo e caloroso con barile, leggera pelle/arrostito, una fine nota di tabacco, poi oli essenziali di agrumi e una nota dolce di frutti secchi e caramellata. Al palato è corposo e appiccicoso con note calde di barile, arrostito, un po' di stagionati, avvolti da una dolcezza densa che si alterna al lato secco/asciutto e leggermente tannico, con frutta secca, fiorito e di nuovo il tabacco sul finale medio-lungo. Il tutto molto rotondo ed equilibrato con un abv eccellentemente integrato. Nel bicchiere vuoto legno di sauna e stagionati. Ho preferito il cask#4 53.1% che ho trovato più complesso e profondo, son curioso di provare anche il cask#63. Grazie a SaibotZtar per lo split! Oscilla tra 9 e 9.1 a seconda dello stato della bocca.

Epic BIELLE 2001 Tasting. Ein toller Jahrgang, das Set war durchweg von hoher Qualität. Einzig RX5741 und RX4918 waren mir eine Spur zu holzig/bitter. Es gab auch einen eindeutigen Sieger, das Fass welches Kirsch ausgewählt hat war für mich das intensivste, harmonischste. Hier war eine perfekte Mischung aus Holz,Frucht und Gewürzen. Der Blend ist auch toll, aber mit 45% leidet etwas schwach am Gaumen. Insgesamt glaube ich das hochwertigste Set was ich verkostet habe und wird man glaube ich so nie wieder bekommen.
