Poured from a bottle dated October 22, 2024.
Aroma is grape forward and quite musty with a dark grape flesh note. Light tannins. Faint grain and light alcohol notes. Hints of earthy, herbal phenolics. Tart cherry notes.
Pours a dark reddish purple with a medium small, thick, creamy, pinkish head that recedes steadily to the edges where it lingers.
Flavor is slightly acidic with faint grain notes. Medium light bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderate grape notes and must with medium light tannins and light oak. More intense grape notes but not jelly or concord grape, instead more of a red wine note with a bit of cherry.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid bottle with nice grape notes with solid fruitiness. Nice oak notes and balanced acidity.

Draft @ Moeder Lambic Fontainas.
Pourpre, léger voile, col pétillant rosé peu tenace.
Arôme sur un bouquet délicat de fruité – repris de suite par la signature olfactive de Cantillon – parfum léger floral avec un côté cerise noire, presque sur une touche de kriek tout en gardant un léger caractère raisin.
Palais est sec, bien effervescent, fruité sur le raisin avec une pointe tannique – fruits rouges et noirs – noyaux de cerise noire – acidité du fruit qui revient avec l’acidité du lambic. Le tout garde ce côté Cantillon-esque – cave, cellier, poutre de grenier, vieux grains et un côté cerise / raisin qui revient sur la fin.

750mL bottle at La Fruitiere. Pours murky mahagony with a white head. Musty nose, lots of tannic grape skins, some funk. Flavour has tannic, musty red wine grape skins, woody. Fantastic.

Smooth, slightly vinous and heavy with grapes, some tartness and mild sourness. Elegant and balanced, easy going

Tart and sour, dry, fruity. Red grapes, woody rannins, soft, smooth. Very nice.

750mL bottle, 2022 cork, drunk May 3, 2024, Ma Che Siete. Clear, bright, blood red with magenta. Small, pinkish head quickly to edges. Bright fruit, low to moderate acidity. Soft mineral and funky in the background. Juicy with mild Brett and mild lactic character. Very clean and snappy, polished. Oh baby. Juicy, zippy, perfectly carbonated with frizzante, tight bubbles carbonation spreading juicy, low acid grape across the palate. Gentle malt sweetness, light oak dryness and plentiful Brett with low lactic, no acetic. Wonderful, juicy, gently sweet fruit and lower funk. Phenomenally drinkable.

Side by side with Signorina. Piacere mi piace de piú. Balanced, showcasing the Cantillon farmy funk. Soft cherry, vinous, long lasting.

- Vinous, funky, slightly tart and heavy with grapes, some hints of red wine, cherries and earthiness. Quite complex and tasty.
