18-JAN-2012, bottle @ulkløbben meeting, @Henrik.
Red, clear, no head.
Sweet raspberry aroma. Taste is sweet with a touch of tartness. Fresh, not really funky, some tart cherries. Medium to soft carbonation. Really too sweet. Simple. Disappointed.

What an aroma! Sweet cranberries, strawberries and well berries. Good body on it. Nice tartness, though a tad artificial tasting. More berries. Effervescent. A bit of time on this could bump it up to classic status. Great flemish red.

4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Thanks Vinnie. Red with nice bubbly head. Aroma is all sorts of fruity, cranberry, raspberry, little bit of marzipan maybe. Taste very nice, lots of fruit, raspberry at the front, tiny bit of sourness, very nice. Maybe blueberry there too. Really fruity. Lovely. Nice spritziness. Nice and dry.

Bottle shared by Shoulderbroken. Thanks! Beautiful crimson pour with white lace. Huge fruit-forward nose: raspberry, cranberry, cherry, with yogurt and vanilla. Big, lovely fruit flavors, very sweet, but tangy too. Fruit all the way, and very tasty, though the barrel character is not coming out as much as I would prefer. I think it is still too young-fruit absolutely dominates. Great to try, and want to try again in a couple years.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Red and mahogany color. Tons of raspberries and cherries in the nose, but slightly sweet, not sour. Earthy and woody. Much more sour in the mouth, tart cherries and raspberries in mouth. Earth sour cherry finish. Nice, but would benefit with time.

**Critique distortionnée par les abus du réveillon: Se boit comme une confiture, belle acidité, belle complexité des fruits. Élégante bouteille.
