Nov 9, 2009 1997 bottle from a kind soul at a Tampa Tasting group gathering. Pours a hazy caramel color with red highlights and a thin white head. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of caramel, vinegar, overripe cherries, ripe berries, some light funk. Flavor is tart with notes of ripe cherries and berries, light vinegar, vinous esters. Medium body with a sour fruit finish.

Nov 2, 2009 Pours a bright cherry red color with a fizzy pinkish .5 finger head that quickly fizzles into a lasting ring. Nothing in the way of lacing. This just looks like artificial cherry syrupy food coloring.
Earthy funky sour tart aroma with lots of horseblanket barnyard notes, raspberry and grape. Very vinous with an organic fruit presence that isn’t artificial or syrupy. Oaky wooden tannis notes add to the earthy funk.
Slightly puckering sour tart flavor with a lot of organic raspberry as well as some grape and other dark estery fruits. Pretty carbonated up front with a lot of earthy sour barnyard funk along with some lactic tart notes. There is also a good bit of earthy oak that balances out the sweetness and sharp tar funkiness very well. Slightly acidic but overall pretty drinkable. Probably my least favorite Cantillon offering I’ve had so far but still decent.

Very fruity aroma. Amber coloured with a hint of pink. Sour fruit flavour. Smooth on the palate with a little dryness in a lasting finish.

Oct 24, 2009 375ml bottle, bottled in 2008 and purchased at John’s Market. Deeper Rosé wine color with a Pepto light pink head that settles down to a slightly off white ring around the edge of the glass. Right away I pick up tart raspberries, cranberries, horse blanket, aspirin, and chalky oak. Slightly dry and sharp up front and then big blast of tart raspberry and vinegar. Not a ton of complexity to it and I would prefer to get a little more out of the berries. Maybe I drank it too fresh?

Oct 24, 2009 Bouteille verte de 375 ml. Arômes de framboises, de chêne et de levures sauvages. Robe saumon, très légèrement trouble, effervescence faible et peu de mousse. En bouche, les framboises sont assez discrètes et sont accompagnées d’une touche lactique et acétique et de tanins de chêne. Finale acide et citronnée. Les fruits demeurent discrets, mais le lambic les supportant montre une très belle complexité.

Oct 23, 2009 Tasted on tap. I neglected to inquire as to the age, but i would imagine it had a few years on it. Aroma has some fruit to it, but the flavor is all cutting acidity and bone dryness with raspberry on the finish.
