A little vinegary up front but that drops off part way through. Nice currant flavors and finishes a little dry. The Pinot noir notes round it off well.

500ml bottle. Cloudy, brown colour with small, bubbly, off-white to beige head. Vinous fruity and caramel malty, minimally woody aroma, notes of blue grapes, raisin, blackcurrant, a touch of bramble and oak. Taste is tart-ish, vinous fruity and slightly caramel malty without residual sweetness, minimally woody, hints of blue grapes, blackcurrant, some cascara, a touch of morello, oak.
Minimally oily, watery texture, slightly astringent palate, fine, soft to flat carbonation.
Vinous, relatively mild, without edges - decent.

Backlog. Bottle (thanks Sten). Clear dark brown color. Tiny to almost no head. Sour, sweet, herbal, balsamico vinegar in aroma and in taste. A lot going on in here. Mellow and smooth. Very solid brew.

Chyba zbyt octowe dla mnie, ale poza tym wzorcowy flandersik, ciemne owocki, winne, taniczne
