Bottle 0.33l from our archive, probably five years aged. Cloudy, orange colored. AROMA- wine, barrel aged, grapes, apple, some alcohol, sea buckthorn, sour apricots. FLAVOR- dry, lightly sour, tart and bitter, quite strong alcohol, dark grapes, apple, sea buckthorn, wood. Fuller bodied. Alcohol presence is a bit harsh, still noble and tasty.

Bottle from Wine Reserve, Cobham. Boozy aroma - the eyes water - with citrus and spice. Opaque amber. Thick off-white shaving foam head. The flava is equally boozy. But also suprisingly restrained. Light sour. A bitter streak then appears. But it's all about the barrel. Medium bodied. Slick verging on sticky. Average carbonation. Long astringent finish. I wanted to like this more. Nice enough but I'd like to know if the original Saison was low key or if it has been overpowered by the barrel aging.
