Clear dark red, no head. Aroma of pure red grape, redcurrant, nectarine, vanilla, leather, vague thyme. Taste has sour cherry, red grape & redcurrant; bitter middle of grape skin & leather in a jam-like malt body. Dry finish of grape skins, herbs and red whine (tannins). Medium body, slick texture, flat carbonation. Has a 'purer' profile than the White Label, lovely.

Hazy red, small, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of overripe cherry, nectarine, pomegrenate, vanilla, almond, oxidised apple. Taste has sour red apple, cherry & pomegrenate; bitter middle of grape skin & wood. Lingering bitter finish of grape skin, a tad soapy. Medium body, moussy texture, average carbonation. Was hoping for more of that Lambic profile; I'm not blown away.

Hazy orange, thin, off-white head. Aroma of musty orange & apricot, bread crust, rosemary, tobacco, horseblanket, hay, old white wine. Taste has sour apricot, orange & grape alongside bitter herbs and funky hay notes. Tart orange peel in the finish, bitter grape skins, faint herbal hops. Medium body, moussy texture, average carbonation. I remember De Meester's Maître Brut Tokaj BA which was similarly dusty and unfresh. Maybe I don't really like Tokaj BA, then.

Clear golden, thin, white head. Aroma of winegums, ripe white grape, melon, apricot, lychee, dried plum, PIneau des Charentes, vinegar. Taste has sweetish-sour plum, apricot and grape, touch of lime, slightly bitter middle of grapefruit, leather and oak. Dry finish of bitter grape skins, oak and citrus pith. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. It does have that musty-dusty element; I missed out on the elderflower though.

Vintage 2018. Bottled: 6/3/2020.
A: hazy dark brown, no head.
A: fig, gingerbread, raisin, milk chocolate, oxidised apple peel.
T: sweet fig & raisin, sourish note, cinnamon, clove.
F: herbal hops, spices, dried & oxidised fruits, warming liqueur-like alcohol.
P: medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation.
Decent enough but doesn't beat (old) Pannepot for example.
