This Zenne y Frontera is a blend of eleven different sherry barrels - ten Oloroso barrels and one Amontillado barrel. The Oloroso bar-rels were more than fourty years old. The lambics originate from four different brews and were all a good year old when filling the sherry barrels. Accordingly, the weighted average age upon bottling was a tad more than 25 months. 100% 3 Fonteinen.

First glass from bottle, decanted rest (takes a bit to get me to reach the very top shelf of the kitchen cabinet). Gold with a dense cream head. Aroma of lemon blossoms, almonds, whitewashed laundryroom, shrivelling sweet grapes. Medium bodied, low carbonation. Sourer than anticipated from the aroma with an insistent old lemony sharpness over layers of dried pineapple, almonds, sherry, apples, oak. There's a burst of those flavours at the start and they gradually they fade until only the sourness, some spices and wood remain. Then the second glass has much less of the sharp lemony note in the aroma and much more funk and some recognisably oxidised sherry notes. Stone fruit - apricots, yellow peaches - join the fruit. Maybe some ripe gooseberry too. The sourness is now underneath until the end. Third glass is funkier still. If 3F's approach is well-mannered depth, this one takes things a little further.

Sample from bottle @ Pien, Helsinki. Vertical 92-94. Last pour with yeast. Smooth, sweetish and slightly sourish with some funky tartness, sherry, oak and softness. Quite soft with all the yeastiness.

Semi-hazy golden pour with a thin off-white head. Notes of oak, leather, barnyard funk, unripe stonefruit, sherry, fruit oxidation, soft mineral funk, walnuts, vanilla. Heavy on the sherry and oak, with a bit of oxidation. Delicious stuff.
