LMDW Bielle 2001 LMDW
People who chase dry, wood-forward agricole will feel at home here. This 14-year Bielle from Marie-Galante leans oaky and roasted — mocha, licorice, leather and black tea, with dried apricot and a little fruit peeking through. At 54.6% the alcohol sits surprisingly well. One taster called it the driest, most tannic of the whole set; another said you can sit with the glass forever and keep finding notes.
The community says- Great alcohol integration
- Mocha and licorice depth
- Complex, keeps evolving

How does LMDW Bielle 2001 LMDW taste?
Aggregated from 17 community reviews.
Dry, tannic, wood-and-mocha aged agricole A dry, woody old agricole that most tasters rated highly for its balance and mocha-licorice depth. The one catch: it's the most tannic and bitter of the batch, so you have to like oak.

Rhum Bielle LMDW 2001 X-Tasting: Ein einzigartiges Set welches Daniel hier ausgegraben hat. Mit zunehmender Zeit wird dieser Rum immer komplexer, die Aromen intensiver. Man kann gefühlt ewig an dem Glas sitzen und entdeckt neue Aromen! Dieser ist besonders trocken was jedoch nicht negativ ist. Alkohol wirklich perfekt eingebracht!

Review by Thunderbird
Bielle 2001 Nr. 9 An der Nase ist diese Abfüllung etwas fruchtiger und weniger würzig. Getrocknete Aprikose kommt mir sofort in den Sinn. Am Gaumen kommen neben dieser Frucht noch deutliche Mokka-, Lakritz- und Holzaromen dazu. Das harmoniert hervorragend. Der Abgang ist dann wieder stärker auf der holzig-würzigen Seite. Top
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
"Großes Bielle 2001 Cross-Tasting": mit Abstand der bisher Holzigste, trockenste und bitterste im Line-up. Das muss man schon mögen. Insgesamt deutlich weniger komplex dafür umso mehr Tannine. Die Nase verspricht eigentlich süße Pfirsich Karamell Noten aber am Gaumen dann doch eher sehr herb Holzig und kräftig. Für mich persönlich bis dato der schwächste im Line-up!🫣so oder so aber meckern auf hohem Niveau!😂
Review by Banana Joe
Epic BIELLE 2001 Tasting. Ein toller Jahrgang, das Set war durchweg von hoher Qualität. Einzig RX5741 und RX4918 waren mir eine Spur zu holzig/bitter. Es gab auch einen eindeutigen Sieger, das Fass welches Kirsch ausgewählt hat war für mich das intensivste, harmonischste. Hier war eine perfekte Mischung aus Holz,Frucht und Gewürzen. Der Blend ist auch toll, aber mit 45% leidet etwas schwach am Gaumen. Insgesamt glaube ich das hochwertigste Set was ich verkostet habe und wird man glaube ich so nie wieder bekommen.
Review by Timo Groeger
Weiter geht es, klasse echt Wahnsinn dieses Set. Der zweite oder dritte im ausgezeichnet Bereich. Dieser ist sehr röstig, Holz/Fass und Gewürze sind hier erkennbar, außerdem auch etwas Leder. Einen haben wir noch :-)
Review by Buddudharma
Danke an Daniel für diesen tollen Split. Für mich eines der besten Fässer, hier ist wirklich alles in hervorragender Balance vorhanden, bei toller Alkoholintegration.
