RBESG08 grand tasting.
Whoa. THis was more rare than I thought. Poured a murky dark orange body with an off white head. Corky nose. Taste... corkey again, light balanced sourness. Pleasant lemony tangy notes. Very, very nice. So glad I got to try this.

thewolf (8625) - Kolding, DENMARK - JUL 13, 2008
Bottle @ the RBESG08 Grand Tasting.
[vintage 1999]
Bought @ YNWA, Kolding.
Pours a clear dark copper-golden with a staying, small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma has lots of cellar, lightly tart, good caramel and oranges. Low carbonation, nice mouthfeel. Flavour is oxidized, though it is not too overpowering, some clear oak notes, tarty oranges and lots of caramel and raisins. Nice surprise.
