Jan 27, 2006 Funky nose typical of Cantillon. You can identify this as a Cantillon without having tried it. Rust color with no head. Sweet front with a grape fruitiness. Tart, sour and puckering. Medium body. Extremely sophisticated tastes and blend. Just phenomenal!

Jan 26, 2006 This is sooo amazing - thanks a lot Jacob and Dixen. Beautiful deep red color, flat looking of course no head. The nose greats from far away - dark grapes, barnyeard, some pine and iron. Puckers the chops, leathery and dusty -. Wonderful forever lasting dry finish.

Dec 7, 2005 Bottle, at RBESG grand tasting, August 2005. Deep pink colour - clarete in wine terms. Fresh, crisp, fruity, tart & clean. But, like most unblended lambics I found it a tad softer and smoother than the blended version. As I particularly value the more rustic, farmyard qualities of Cantillon, it scores a bit lower than the blended.

Oct 10, 2005 Vinous, funky, fresh and fruity aroma. Opaque burgundy body is quite still and wine-like. Funky, farmhouse flavours are here but seem refined into a wine-like character despite the strong acidity. Medium body is very dry. Bottle sampled at RBESG 2005.

Aug 26, 2005 RBESG05: Colour is similar to a rose wine. Nice grape nose too, which has a sour tart citric smell too. Wonderful tasty sour grapes. Very complex yet still so refreshing. Nice stuff.
