750ml bottle. Poured a hazy golden colour with a short-lived, fizzy white head. The aroma is yeasty, oaky, light citrus. The flavour is moderate sour, with a dry, spicy, yeasty, herbal, molasses, dry, vinous oak palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Awesome.
Lovely slightly funky, slightly acetic Cantillon nose. Slightly leathery and woody. Beautifully balanced minerality , dry finish

Bottle (thanks Randall). Clear yellow pour with a fleeting white head. Enticing barn house bouquet. Oh man, this is fantastic. Perfect funk (mild lemon zest/horse blanket/funk) with interesting champagne characteristics. Really good mouthfeel, albeit very sour, and body.
