Bielle L'Univers de la Guildive 2013

Most tasters land in the low-to-mid 8s and mean it — a good Bielle for the money, with a fresh, fruity nose several rate above the palate. Think pineapple, dried apricot, vanilla and a bourbon-cask finish, lightly sweet with wood and spice. The catch: a couple of members flag a dominant sawdust note and alcohol that isn't fully tucked in at 54.6%.

The community says
  • Fresh fruity nose
  • Bourbon-cask finish

Fruity cask-strength agricole, nose beats palate Well-liked and fairly priced, with a nose most rate above the palate. A few dock it for pushy oak, a bitter edge, or heat that shows through.

A pretty nice Bielle and the price is also really good compared to what you get. The nose is fresh and fruity with spices as soon as you open the bottle. While resting the wood and nuts present themselves pretty well. The palate is lightly sweet with wood, fruits and spices and a hint of tobacco. The finish is medium long and warm with wood, dried fruit and spices.

Mega spannende Nase nach tropischen Früchten und Gewürzen, toller Geschmack nach Passionsfrucht, Limette, Mokka und Karamell aber insgesamt ist eine extrem dominante Note nach Sägespänen die mir eher missfällt und dominiert, Hintenraus wirds leicht metallisch.
