Bielle Les Rhums Vieux De Marie Galante 2005
One member calls it "an oriental spice bazaar," and that's the through-line here — cardamom, allspice and a touch of licorice, layered over dried apricot and a fresh cane lift. This is a Marie Galante agricole with real complexity, dry and earthy on the palate with green pepper and a little honey. At cask strength the alcohol mostly sits well; a few drops of water push the freshness further.
The community says- Dense spice layers
- Dried apricot note
- But: Alcohol slightly hot

How does Bielle Les Rhums Vieux De Marie Galante 2005 taste?
Aggregated from 12 community reviews.
Spicy, complex Marie Galante agricole The consensus is high: a complex, spice-forward agricole that's well balanced and near cask-strength perfect. A couple of tasters wish the alcohol were a hair more integrated, and one hints an older release digs deeper.

Review by mto75
only 73 bottles, 10 years of tropical aging in ex-bourbon barrels, 55.9 ABV brut de fût, definitely sounds interesting! On the nose all sorts of spices like cardamom, allspice, maybe cumin. Next to that, a nice Agricole freshness mixed with dried apricot. The palate is also really fun: spicy, earthy, green peppers, honey. Only the alcohol could be a bit better integrated, but that's complaining on a high level.
Review by Rodolphe
Very nice Agricole. I guess a wine barrel that has marked the rum, perhaps a Sauternes style wine because the rum has a honeyed and sweet side. And since Bielle often does this type of maturation... It is very good for those who like this winey agricultural profile with a nice sweetness.
Review by Jakob
Intensives Bouquet, klassische Agricole-Noten von Zuckerrohr und Nüssen, herbe dunkle Gewürze, getrocknete Früchte, dezente erdige Aromen. Vielschichtig, auch wenn insbesondere die 2001er Releases nochmal etwas mehr Tiefe mitbringen - wir bleiben auf sehr hohem Niveau.
Review by Joachim Guger
An oriental spice bazaar, grassy, fresh and dried apricots (again). Very complex, balanced, alcohol integration perfect. Barrel maturity perfect. Nice!With a little water it becomes even fresher.Great Agricole! Unique selling point here are the spices and licorice.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Toller Agricole, der absolut alles hat. Perfekte Trinkstärke, tolle Ausgewogenheit. Keine grasigen Noten. Wäre älter vielleicht noch besser.
