JorisPPattyn (14322) - Wilrijk, BELGIUM - JUL 12, 2020UPDATED: JUL 12, 2020 Part 5 of the great Zenne Y Frontera tasting. Descriptions limited to the differences.
This ought to be classified as Batch #2. No head, copperish peach colour. Again sherry/vinous aromas, overlying typical 3F gueuze flavours, here with hints at preserved orange. Sweetish profile, much more Oloroso character than the other batches. Finish has sour grapes, more acidity and something quite earthy. From mellow to sharp, ending in acidthinning, and certain slickness. Very good batch, here the Oloroso is completely believable.
Hoprider (1125) - DENMARK - JUN 20, 2020UPDATED: JUN 20, 2020 Clear deep golden orange colour, very little foam. Rich funk, citrus and a dryer sherry note, maybe something like amontillado. Not quite the richer olorosso or px. Taste is pretty sour with lactic sourness, oak, oxidative notes, apples, overripe plum, hay and funk. Finished dry and puckering.
ctipping (4084) - Florida, USA - DEC 15, 2019UPDATED: DEC 15, 2019 750 mL bottle. Slight haze and no head. Smells of mineral notes, a little cardboard, sherry, grapefruit, dried grass. Tastes of sour orange, deep vinous acidity, oak, slight cardboard, lots of dried grass. Low carbonation, if not completely flat. Strong sourness. Good, but aging and lacking the brightness and depth of standard 3F blends. Either I'm missing what everyone else loves about this or it's a poorly stored bottle.
50belair (4483) - Florida, USA - DEC 8, 2019UPDATED: DEC 8, 2019 Bottle. Clear pale burnt orange pour with a fleeting white head. Beautiful classical 3F bouquet. Kinda flat with a hint of oxidation. That being said, it’s wonderful mild barnyard, stellar barrel, orange, highlights. Great body and mouthfeel.
