Leighton Profile

Outstanding. Rich berry character, leather, wood, earth, balanced acidity, herbal accents. Subtly jammy. No off notes. Fairly clean to finish, not overly acidic, complex, balanced. Masterclass kind of gear.

Piacere (2025) from Brasserie Cantillon

8.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5

Good stuff, nicely complex, has a lean sort of acidity, dried grapes, salty cherry, but of salty sweat. Moderate body. Quenching finish. Has a musty quality that subsides with some opening. Really interesting one. Drinks well.

Looks great. Quite bright, jammy and juicy, lots of grapes and berries, restrained acidity, mild funk. Soft woody dryness. Fairly clean to finish, nice fruity-berry-grapey sweetness. Wonderful stuff.

Lovely stuff. Rich yet subtle. Sturdy roast, torched wood, earth, a little ash, charred caramel. Overly toasted whole grain bread. Had a nice toothy bitterness about it. Well balanced, too. Solid.

Lean and clean. Softly acidic, some mellow pine, lemony twang, a little salty bite. Not complex but it doesn’t need to be. Dry finish, tart and quenching. Nicely balanced, highly drinkable.
