Bielle Les Rhums Vieux De Marie Galante 2005
One taster calls it an "oriental spice bazaar," and that gets at it — cardamom, allspice, dark spices and a thread of liquorice, with dried apricot popping up in almost every note. This is a 10-year Bielle agricole at cask strength that leans spicy and earthy rather than grassy, with sugarcane, honey and cedar underneath. A few drops of water freshen it up nicely.</</parameter="review">The consensus is high and steady: complex, spice-forward and beautifully balanced for the proof. A couple wish it were older or slightly better integrated — genuine nitpicking on a very good agricole.</
The community says- Complex spice
- Dried apricot

Review by Leo Tomczak
Toller Agricole, der absolut alles hat. Perfekte Trinkstärke, tolle Ausgewogenheit. Keine grasigen Noten. Wäre älter vielleicht noch besser.
Review by Santo
Épicé complexe gourmand, très beau représentant du style français
Review by Joachim Guger
An oriental spice bazaar, grassy, fresh and dried apricots (again). Very complex, balanced, alcohol integration perfect. Barrel maturity perfect. Nice!With a little water it becomes even fresher.Great Agricole! Unique selling point here are the spices and licorice.
Review by mto75
only 73 bottles, 10 years of tropical aging in ex-bourbon barrels, 55.9 ABV brut de fût, definitely sounds interesting! On the nose all sorts of spices like cardamom, allspice, maybe cumin. Next to that, a nice Agricole freshness mixed with dried apricot. The palate is also really fun: spicy, earthy, green peppers, honey. Only the alcohol could be a bit better integrated, but that's complaining on a high level.
Review by Mentalo
Alkohol gut integriert, schöne Gewürz-und Aprikosennoten.
Review by Johannes
Sehr intensiv, komplex und würzig!
Review by Jakob
Intensives Bouquet, klassische Agricole-Noten von Zuckerrohr und Nüssen, herbe dunkle Gewürze, getrocknete Früchte, dezente erdige Aromen. Vielschichtig, auch wenn insbesondere die 2001er Releases nochmal etwas mehr Tiefe mitbringen - wir bleiben auf sehr hohem Niveau.
Review by Rodolphe
Very nice Agricole. I guess a wine barrel that has marked the rum, perhaps a Sauternes style wine because the rum has a honeyed and sweet side. And since Bielle often does this type of maturation... It is very good for those who like this winey agricultural profile with a nice sweetness.
