Intro: A 750ml corked and capped bottle, with a best before date of 1st November 2026. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A nice red colour with an orange tinge, and a one finger pinkish head, that had good retention and eventually settled to a ring around the glass while leaving some lacing.
Aroma: Tart, cherries, wood, and lightly vinous.
Taste: Lightly sour, tart, cherries, wood, and a touch funky.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate to high carbonation.
Overall: Nice aroma and flavours, although carbonation might have been a touch too high, making it not as easy drinking as it could have been. Still enjoyable though.
