Poured from a 375 ml, 2020 / 2021 vintage bottle. Aroma is lambic forward with lots of earthy, herbal, musky funk. Light grape notes with hints of lemon and stone fruit. Light oak notes and hints of alcohol. Light grain notes. Pours a moderately hazy, pale, yellow straw color with a small, moderately thick, whit head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers. No lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat acidic, but not particularly sharp with light grain notes. Light bitterness and light alcohol warmth. Medium light grape notes with lighter notes of lemon and hints of stone fruit. Light earthy, herbal mustiness. Hints of oak. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid lambic. I'm actually a fan of the fruit being a secondary, background note and letting the lambic shine. The fruit is present, especially in the flavor but the base lambic notes come through really nicely.

Bouteille 37.5cl, BB 23/06/2031.
Dorée, col fin blanc disparaissant vite.
Arôme est encore pas mal complexe au niveau du Riesling avec un bouquet classique de l'assemblage de lambic/boisé,/funk repris par un bouquet discret entre pomme, tilleul et léger miel.
Palais est frais, sec voire finement poussiéreux. Douceur un peu latente fruitée, agrumes-citronné, finement herbacé et fleuri / tilelul, fruits confits se mariant bien avec le volet plus acidulé du lambic. Légère minéralité rivalisant avec son voisi Gewurtzstraminer avec e, fin un léger fruité vert.
