2012 750mL bottle drunk 8/13/16 Soft, light mineral, light sulfur again. Bigger white and black pepper character in the nose with even some light lavender suggestions, perhaps. Definitely more wood and less intense rhubarb juice, which is odd, given the 4 year difference. Definitely not as evened out, as a result, but with very enjoyable aromatics and light brett and lacto lingering behind it all. No alcohol or flaw. Black pepper in the mouth with lots of mint-like character and soft, pleasant, vegetal notes from the rhubarb. Some sharpness from the wood, a touch like Crianza, adding both flavor and tannin/body. A touch of alcohol on the finish, mixing with dry, very bitter rhubarb juice. Tight carbonation. Earthy grapefruit rind and very light brett lingering. Obviously a bit bigger/fuller of a lambic all around than the 2008, but I’m sure given time this will probably be even more softly rich and juicy/flavorful than the 2008.

0,07l taster from 0,75l bottle at Moeder Lambic Original tasting. Vintage . Amber cloudy color, small white head. Smells berry notes, fragrant, flowery, spices, smoky. Very nice smell. Full body, soft carbonation. Tastes berry notes, lactic, tart berry notes, earthy, tad smoky. Finishes dry and medium sour with notes of berries, lactic and smoky notes. Very nice berry notes, rather on the sour side
