Bielle Brut de Fût 2014

Sip this one neat, but keep water close — several tasters say a few drops open it right up, softening the alcohol and coaxing out cream and licorice. It smells of dried apricot, vanilla and brown sugar, then turns spicy and oily on the palate with bitter orange, almonds and cane running underneath. A warm, long, faintly bitter finish. Fresh agricole character throughout, just a touch hot and unbalanced at full strength.

A round, pleasant Bielle, without edges or corners and easy to drink. On the nose, dried apricot with vanilla and brown sugar. On the palate, something nutty with bitter orange, lightly toasted and delicate vanilla.. the finish is medium-length with vegetal notes, some mocha and slightly bitter.

Have some hazelnut wood. Otherwise quite light due to its young age.
