Bright fluffy and tart. Lots of juicyness for a 13 yo bottle. Should be fine for several more years to come

Held up well for the age, but fell a bit flat for me. Very little barrel presence. Interesting

What a weekend with Chase F. cracking some postponed celebratory bottles. Classic Cantillon funk, but cranked up a notch. Balanced flavor profile, oak, just sublime. 4.8

Awesome to finally tick this. Certainly delicious but imo not worth the chase anymore. I love secondary flavors that oxidation provides but for most this would be on its last legs. Either way absolutely delicious and one I’m very grateful to have tried.

Yep. Absolute all-timer that exceeded the hype and expectations. A curious little funk props up the cognac barrel which is just beautiful right now. A total stunner. [2021 Catch Up]

Throwback Thursday (6/9/13). Bottle generously cracked by James Daddy. Thanks man. Hazy yellow gold appearance, with a medium off white head. Notes were puckery tart skin, complex wood, grapes, shellfish, funk, ocean, lemon, and barn. Light refreshing…

Been holding this one since I went to De Heeren van Liedekercke in December 2012. Last night at this house with my boys here so it seemed a good time to open it. On to the next chapter.
