Pours a nice red with no head (or so). Aroma of vinegar, red fruits and oak. Taste is more of the same, reminescent of the Classic. Taste is nicely balanced between sweet and sour, ultra quenching! Quite an awesome drink!

Bottle, 2010 vintage. Pours a beautiful, clear, dark red pour with off white foam. Aroma unites the usual suspects: cherry, wood and acetic vinegar notes is a really rich bouquet. Lots of subtle earthy notes and wood, tart cherries, light, not syrupy at all. Taste is just sour enough, really good sweet/sour combo. Palate is half dry, with fine carbonation. Very nice.
