0,375l bottle at home. Vintage 2019. purple color, small pink head. Smells cherry notes, cherry pits, jammy, marzipan, earthy, notes of blackberries. very nice smell. full body, light carbonation. Tastes cherry notes, earthy, cherry pits, light marzipan, bit jammy, some citrus, lightly lactic, blackberries. Finishes dry and medium sour with notes of cherries, marzipan and some citric notes. on the tart side of things but overall very nice one, could have a tad more complexity and / or funk, but overall very good.

Pours very dark purplered, small layer of pinkwhite head. Scent is cherries, the very welcome aromma I usually describe as 'swiming pool'. Some oak, wine is'nt recognizable though. Taste is sharp, medium tart, dry, very very full fruityness, with a sweet hint, but definately not the sweet kind. Very nice, easy drinking, extremely fruit-forward kriek.
