30 January 2026. GBV Lucky Ass Tasting (@ Baracuna). Cheers to the whole crew!
Hazy dark red, small, foamy, pink head. Aroma of cherry pit, almond, vanilla, wood, barnyard, horse steak, blue cheese. Taste has very sour cherry, nectarine, funky barnyard & blue cheese in an almondy malt body, lactic acid flowing throughout. Tart cherry skin in the finish, providing drying woody tannins. Medium body, moussy texture, average carbonation. Intense, complex and elegant.

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.
