7.5/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8
Sampled 375 ml. bottle @ “Vini Birre Ribelli 2015”. Aged for 3 years on second use (already used for another beer) Bourgogne barrels if I remember correctly or was it Bordeaux,… not sure. Pours a clear fox red amber with no head. Nose is huge oxidation, sherry, massively so with some wine & oak. Taste is huge oxidation, sherry, big wine, walnuts, dry oak, spices, oak, more nuts. Fully oxidized body. Body was fully thinned out by oxidation, bit dry. Overly oxidized yes but still some nice flavors here, I wouldn’t want to drink much of it but I did enjoy it to a certain extent.
