Grape lambic made with Grenache Noir grapes (there is a Grenache Blanc version too), tasted from tap at Moeder Lambic Original during Zwanze Day 2022. Moussy, lilac, stable, creamy head, hazy ‘mauve’ robe with vermillion glow. Aroma of blue grape juice, ripe blue plum, ‘full’ red wine, fruit yoghurt, old wet wood, crabapple, purple gooseberries, sherry, old tawny port hint, sour cherries, sweat. Crisp sour onset, lots of juicy blue grape with lambic side notes of green apple, sour plum and ripe redcurrant, very sharply carbonated (more stingy than e.g. champagne) – probably related to the fact that this came from a tap; bready core deeply buried under lactic sourness (yoghurt), lots of blue grape juiciness and lingering ‘green’ sour fruitiness. Juicy stewed plum and ripe grape effects in the finish, matching well with drying wood and grape skin tannins – but the juiciness wins, making for a very grapey-fleshy ending. Beautiful in all respects, but overcarbonated – I should re-rate this from a bottle.
