Novare draught, 6/16/22. Lightly hazy, honey-orange. Small, white head. Honey-like notes from grape with big oak and house culture. Soft, succulent, mineral and tropical fruit driven wine. Lots of citrus rind with lovely, sherry-like oxidation leading to tea and light vanilla. Very soft, dry, sherry-oxidation and honey-orange rind. Medium sourness and on the lighter side, body-wise. Lingering, teeth-licking sourness mixing with mineral, oak tannin and long lactic acid. Wacky stuff.

Lõhn on jätkuvalt äge, happelisem kui ma mäletan, puuviljane, kuiv, vürtsikas. Jätkuvalt äge, aga jah, hape on veits tugev.

EB Quintessence Trip April 16-19. Life is indeed Belgian. Curry/walnut-notes are very dominant, almost vulgar, but I must confess I still love it. Mind blowing now but will be even better and definitely more elegant with some age.

Lovely funk, massive walnuts and oxidized Vin Jaune. Sour and woody, but less dry then some Vin Jaune I’ve head, though it’s still very dry. Over medium sour. Great stuff, though maybe slightly on the sour side right now.
