Bielle Le Vieil Oublié 2001
Anyone chasing well-aged agricole with a real oak imprint will click with this Bielle. Sixteen years have softened it into something round and rich for a cane-juice rum — candied yellow fruit, coffee, bitter chocolate, wood and a rubbery note on the nose that tasters found more interesting than off-putting. One reviewer called it "un nez plein de caoutchouc" but not unpleasant. Complex, long, honeyed.
The community says- Round, honeyed texture
- Complex and long
- Slight cask bitterness

Aggregated from 22 community reviews.
Rich, rounded 16-year aged agricole Loved by nearly everyone who tried it — rich, complex and unusually round for an agricole. A slight cask bitterness shows on the palate, but most found it harmonious and memorable.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Another nice surprise when tasting this one at a rum event in Copenhagen. The nose is wonderfully fruity with some coffee and a tail of wood. The palate is nice and complex while well balanced between alcohol and fruit and spices. In the back i get some wood and nuttyness. The finish is long and fruity with some vanilla and wood.

Excellent rhum. Riche et complexe. Belle longueur. Du grand bielle 😍
Review by Jakob
Wow, extrem überraschend - die Nase gibt schon ein extrem begeisterndes, „alt“ anmutendes Bild frei, das den klar erkennbaren, aber noch nicht zu opulenten Fasseinfluss offenbart, gleichzeitig aber dunkle Früchte, Gewürze, Bitterschokolade und Kaffee preisgibt. Am Gaumen sticht zunächst die Bitternote aus der Reifung etwas hervor, das Gesamtprofil bleibt aber harmonisch und holt mich prima ab. Hat Züge alter Demeraras, bleibt aber eigenständig. Gefällt mir richtig gut! Aber
Review by Godspeed
Nose full of rubber, but not unpleasant at all. The palate follows the nose with an impressive roundness for an agricultural wine. Very different from other Bielles, better than most in fact. It's good but doesn't give me enough desire to buy the bottle. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it very much for its uniqueness.
