Bielle Le Vieil Oublié 2001
If you already love old, wood-shaped agricoles, this 16-year Bielle rewards the attention. The nose runs fruity — candied and tropical fruit, coffee, a tail of oak — with an "alt" old-cask depth that a few tasters place near old Demeraras. The palate is round and unusually soft for an agricole, with a slight cask bitterness and a long fruity finish. Complex without being difficult.
The community says- Round for agricole
- Candied fruit depth
- But: Slight cask bitterness

Rich, round old agricole with a long fruity finish Members rate it highly and keep landing on the same words: rich, complex, and remarkably round for an agricole. A touch of cask bitterness is the only reservation raised.

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 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.
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.
