Deep reddish brown in colour. Aroma of sour cherries, vinegar. Flavour is very tart, acidic, sour, cherries. Finishes dry and nicely sour. Thanks go out to CaptainCougar for my one and possibly only chance to try this.

Dec 31, 2008 Rating 1000! Pours an clean and clear ruddy brown that appears a beautiful garnet when held to the sunlight, with a few big bubbles on the top. Nice vinous nose with cherries and a touch of wood. Reminds me quite a bit of their Grand Cru, but smoother and less acidic influences. More sweet than sour with cherries and oak. SO delicate on the palate and clean in the finish. Absolute YUM.

Dec 28, 2008 Jon, I love you for sharing this with me. 1996 bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a nice fizzyness to it. Aroma with some sweet malty cherries, oak, and sherry notes. A bit of sour, but not too much. The flavor is nice and sour, but not at the expense of balance. A slight mineraly taste. Sweet with whiskey soaked cherries. There is a deep oaky characteristic that comes out in the finish. Very tasty. A medium-thick body. Sad that I will probably never have it again.

Dec 21, 2008 1983 bottle. Murky reddish brown, scant white head. Aroma of sour cherries and plums. Slightly sweet sour flavor with nuts and dark fruits. Wood finish. Nice one.

Oct 7, 2008 This was hanging on better than I’d heard. Hazy copper color with cherries, brown sugar, and pitted fruits. A smooth body with similar flavors and the faintest hint of banana marring the otherwise fantastic body. A very thick mouthfeel.
