Famille Ricci Bielle Exception 2001 19yr 45,5%

"Visit to Ricci. Like last time, just great: 14 rums tasted, 2 hours with us, all quality rums, some of them very high-flying, like this 19-year-old bielle... Inevitably woody, but neither aggressive nor overpowering. There's something really elegant here, with nuts, dried fruit, tobacco and leather."

"More wood please ? Nose : wood Mouth : woody wood Finish : wood Seriously, in a blind tasting I would say old Armagnac, but not the one I prefer as it’s too much wood oriented… the problem is that we’re talking about rhum not Armagnac. Just a shame at this price tag"

"Jus de bois très loin du prix qu’il vaut"
