UPDATED: JAN 28, 2024 Amber, hazy, no head. The aroma has a nice woody character, subtle balsamic, mild barrelly vinegar. On the palate, it's tart, but restrained in that tartness. Sweet malts, good complexity of barrel character... I imagine that was the vin jaune.

UPDATED: JAN 28, 2024 375mL bottle, pours a clear dark amber with a tiny beige head. Aroma reveals balsamic, some sweet dessert wine, and a touch of oak. Flavour is tart, acetic and complex, with plenty of sweet dessert wine, balsamic, tartness, and oak. It's definitely acetic but fittingly so. Finishes tart, acetic and sweet vinous. Very good.
