Bottle. Lovely looking in the bottle and the glass, a salmon pink, hazy, with a white head. Nose is raspberry and light resin, grapefruit, leather and old books. Far more spruce comes out in the mouth, raspberry, citrus, less funky, more smooth and silky, with something like a cottony mouthfeel. Just magnificent.

(750ml bottle @ La Souche Limoilou, Quebec City, Nov 15/22) Pours clear deep pink with a small and short-lived near-white head and minimal lace. Aroma is heavy on lightly cooked and confiture raspberries, quite earthy and with a good component of pips, nice rich but balanced funk profile leaning towards forest and leather with the spruce aromatics becoming much more prominent towards the bottom of the bottle, nice neutral woody overtones. Flavour is moderately acidic (lactic/malic and lightly acetic) with the lightly cooked or preserved raspberry component quite intense, moderate well-balanced earthy but not sulphurous funk, again the spruce tips felt like they became more prominent later in the bottle with their fresh and resinous accents, nice woody structure providing good tannic balance into the finish, subtle florals (honey?), drying lightly mineral finish balanced by pip astringency and oaky grip. Medium-bodied, slightly slick, smooth filling bottle-conditioned carb. Another lovely wild from B&S, definitely need to seek out more from them. Would have liked a bit more spruce tip but all good...
