ZincFest2026. Reddish amber colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, some tart wood, mild cranberries, some other tartish berries, some funk and mild acidity to it. Flavour is quite similar. Nice sipper.

Bokfont barbera. 2023. Bottle big thanks to Rich. It pours deep purple with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is bright, snappy, tangy, vinous, red berry, super juicy, jammy, tangy, cranberry, plum, damp wood, sticky, granny smith apple, bramble and sweaty funk. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, zingy, puckering, crazy juicy, bramble, plum, prune, red grape, vinous, jammy, rosebud, juniper, floral accents, nip of acidity, damp wood and funk. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Very nice stuff.

30 January 2026. GBV Lucky Ass Tasting (@ Baracuna). Cheers to the whole crew!
Hazy dark red, thin, off-white head. Aroma of musty red grape, damp cellar, earth, overripe nectarine, banana, cherry pit. Taste has very sour nectarine, cherry and raspberry in a light almondy malt body. Funky & tart finish of lactic acid and grape skins. Medium body, moussy texture, soft carbonation. Interesting side-by-side tasting, I'd say the Blue Label has a more 'noble' character.
