Depaz Millésime 2002

Tasted with the Depaz XO prestige, it is better in the mouth and the finish is more interesting despite a lower price. The nose is less interesting than the XO. In mouth a peaty side absent in the nose, dried fruits and tropical fruits. The finish is floral with violet.

Acidity, disinfection, kokina, taste already too agri

Blind Tasting. Had guessed an Agricole from Martinique, but J. M.. On the nose I smell something like freshly limed wall and some owl, on the palate I taste smoky, floral notes. The rhum seems dry, the finish is long. An honest Agricole, I like. Update 2023-07-04: Re-tastings like this after some time are a fine thing. Can you find out nicely whether the taste has evolved, refined. And whether certain preferences have solidified. With this rum I can say: Full confirmation of the previous assessment abundant half a year ago. And additionally, surprisingly, jelly-filled Christmas cookies on the nose. Therefore, even one point more. Yummy!

Good Agricole, not super complex, but well suited for beginners. Pleasant wood tones, red fruits, some leather, pleasant sweetness. Alcohol well integrated, but you should give it some standing time.

8,5:On the nose, it opens with warm dried fruits and an intense perfume. The tannins are melted and also bring some cocoa, perhaps milk chocolate. There are also some spices, the exotic fruits are ripe, especially papaya and pineapple. Fruits like banana or papaya then appear as if dried.The sugarcane is fresh... After an aeration, the wood is strong, spicy, with a note of a cigar box. The fruits fly underneath, candied, sweet. We have dried apricot, candied ginger and juicy sugarcane, fermented. 8,4:On the palate, the woodiness takes over, with fatty nuts. We might think of dark chocolate with raisins, before the spices open the way to a pepper.The sugarcane is fresh and mineral, juicy.The woodiness stays strong, as a mixture of prune and black fruits come into the game. 8,4:The finish is long and juicy with mineral sugarcane and very round fruits, a bit woody, dry, again dried fruits with a little minty freshness.. Edit:3.10.25

Balanced agricole with woody notes and dried fruit.

Tried a few Depazzes this week. Was looking forward trying this one; the only vintage of the lot. Nose: peaches. Mango. Marzipan. Almonds among others. Wow great start. Complex and tasty. Taste: very fruity, dry. Bitter. Overripe peaches. Wood(spices). Cognac. French oak tannins. Hint of freshness. The woodiness might be a bit too much for some but is quite common among older Agricoles. It's quite bitter too. But the fruitiness ties it to a nice and complex whole. Got a 6cl sample. Will drink a second glass later in time.

Good value for money. Lack of sweetness on the finish

A very well-made agricultural rum. The nose subtly blends spices, wood, fruit and chocolate for a lovely roundness of flavor. The palate continues with a dry but rounded tone, a delight on which the same flavors rest, accompanied by caramel and tobacco. The finish is long, warm and pleasant. It's a pleasure to put your nose and mouth back in the glass.

Premier nez assez boisé assez fort en alcool pour seulement 45 degrés Pas trop d'arômes reconnaissables à première vue léger banane peut être Pas plus convaincant que ça au nez Première bouche sympa, il attaque mais on sent bien la canne le boisé les fruits sont plus présents Il est pas facile facile en arômes mais il est agréable Le boisé vient en second puis une fois avalé des parfums de fruits alors que c'est plus les épices au début mais qui partent près La fin de bouche est très présente en canne à sucre et en fruits, j'aime beaucoup la fin Il n'a rien à voir avec les Clément

Great Agricole with a very drinkable appearance. Sure such super suitable for Agricole beginners.

Last one before departure, again from the Advent calendar of La Route des Rhums. Delicious Agricole, again woody and spicy on the nose, notes of vanilla and cocoa are recognizable. Lots of agricole on the palate, as well as spice, wood and pepper.

Magnificent vintage, not too woody. A Martinique reference!

👃 Le nez nous offre du boisé, des fruits confits, un peu de caramel, d'amande et de vanille, tendance pâtissière. 👄 Il y a en plus en bouche des épices, un peu de chocolat et de fleurs, un mélange huileux de douceur et de force. Ce vieux rhum agricole supporte sans problème d'être aéré. La finale est longue.

With this rum, wood, pungent dried fruit, and spices are found first on the nose. In second place resonates chocolate, caramel and floral sugar cane notes. Very faintly then still vanilla. In the mouth fruit acidity, dry and spicy. In the aftertaste then delicious chocolate with wood and fruit. Overall too dry and spicy for me.
