Bottle at Cantillon, 28th April 2022. Pours a light golden orange with a light haze. Aroma is funk, mellow, vinous fruit. Taste is light funk and fruit, mineral, earthy, musty, superbly balanced and so moreish and drinkable, best of the day at Cantillon this time.

Bottle. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is grapey and vineous, but in a really juicy way, very well-integrated. Taste is green and white fruits, very juicy, not so much Lambicy, great balance. Oily mouthfeel with fine carbonation. Amazing stuff, but I say this as a Champagne lover.

From the bottle at Quintessence. Murky yellow pour with a white head. Green grape vinous bouquet. Slightly effervescent with tart/sour vinous overtones. Lemon and citrus standing strong. Would love to revisit this after a couple years. Good body and mouthfeel.
