31/XII/22 - 33cl bottle from a trade or from De Struise shop, can’t remember, I’ve had this bottle since forever, shared @ ElManana’s place, BB: 17/II/21 (2022-1788)
Foodpairing: braised and lacquered pork cheek, Radicchio, shallots, Savoy cabbage, mashed Brussels sprouts potatoes, mustard, gingerbread. (tderoeck)
Clear dark purple brown to almost black beer, small aery irregular creamy beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: pretty roasted, some soy sauce, a bit oxidized, little sourish impression, some red currants, a bit funky, strawberry jam. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sourish start, some tannins, a bit oxidized, some roasted notes, pretty vinous. Aftertaste: vanilla, red wine, bitter, wood, tannins, some dark chocolate, gentle acidity, sweet touch, more vanilla still, red currants, strawberry jam, more oxidative notes. Nice one!
Bottled 18/02/16. Quite interesting. Not as sour by far as expected. Sweet raisins from the pannepot, tons of wood, tannins from the wine. Sweet, fruity, vinous and deep. Complex, but maybe was on barrels a bit too long, seems a tad dusty?
Like most things, they have to rest a bit to get in balance. Great!
