Bottle pour. Quintessence 25. Served with some delicious Comte cheese, of which I had an unfair share, frankly. Yeah ace. Been after ticking this for ages. Can’t completely remember what it was like because I was a bit pissed by now.

[2019 Vintage] Bottle pour at Quintessence 2025. Pours hazy blonde with a white head. Dusty wine barrels and a bit of funk on the nose. Flavour has dry white wine grapes, gentle barnyard must. Very nice.

Sour, tart, fruity. Dessert wine, jammy, candied apricot, dry oak. Hard to describe how yummy with corale cheese. Amazing.

Bouteille 75cl lors de la Cantillon Quintessence 2025.
Dorée/pâle, col fin blanc.
Arôme sur un bouquet marqué par le funk, légèrement poussiéreux, fruité tirant un peu sur le tropical, fruits à noyaux avec une touche aigrelette en rétro-nasal.
Palais est chargé sur les lambics – touche un peu madérisée, citrique sur le pamplemousse presque sur une note tropicale de fruit de la passion mais avec un retour du caractère classique de Cantillon – cave, cellier, cuir et fine acidité.

750mL bottle, pours a bright golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of barnyard funk, tangy vinous notes, and a touch of leather. Flavour is tangy, with plenty of wine tang, gentle funk, leather, and some citrus. Very tangy, citrusy; unusual wine barrel character. Far from my favourite Cantillon, but this is very nice of course.
