Bouteille 33cl de et partagée avec Tdroeck à Ixelles.
Vintage 2018, lot# 20240037 - bottled 12/06/2024 + 10 years.
Couleur cuivre/ambre, col fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur un bouquet oscillant entre notes maltées-céréales caramel et un nez plus acidulé presque balsamique - léger fruits rouges/noirs en retrait.
Palais est assez centré sur l'acidulé tout en ayant un côté vinaigre masi erstant assez convenanble à la dégustation - cerise aigre plus sur un effet oude bruin - la cerise reste cependant assez discrète et pas faicle à la noter sans le savoir sur l'étiquette. De plus, je ne comprends pas trop l'avantage de laisser cela 5 ans en barrique de Bordeaux ? pour en tirer quoi de plus?

330mL bottle, pours a clear burgundy, tiny head. Nose is full of red wine barrels, plenty of mildly tart cherries, and gentle tannins. Flavour is not too acetic, with plenty of red wine expression that melds with the cherries pretty well. The whole thing is not that intense though, drinking surprisingly easily as did the non-cherry version. Very nice.

Clear red with a tart cherry aroma. Funky flavour, with cherry and tart citrus and some floral notes too. Far too drinkable and refreshing for 7%.
