2014 750mL bottle drunk 10/8/16.
Very carbonated, as these grape lambics seem apt to be. Pale, waxen-yellow gold with a large, off-white head that fades steadily. Good clarity, of course.
Very "clean" nose, not as in "not-flawed" but rather it’s very low on funk, especially for Cantillon. Nectarine, apricot and light minerality from the grape with moderate "tartness" suggested by the nose. I’d say the wine gets the better of the lambic, but it’s certainly not overdone, so I guess this is just a rather mild, easygoing lambic. Which is fine. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth, it’s well-carbonated, but with a supple, tannin-rich texture and fineness to the bubbles. Wood, wine and light sweetness redolent of grape must, though that’s not present. Tartness, bordering on a bit of sourness on the finish, but remarkably soft and mild here. Light wateriness to it and all-around pleasant, but would never put this as a Cantillon.
