Saint Lamvinus (2013) A.

Oh my sweet baby jesus. Funkyyyyyy, plenty of grape still, nuttiness. I'm obsessed with how good this is.

Fou’ Foune (2021) A.

Thanks Mark! Had this after ~1 day in the bottle in August, and it has benefited from the refermentation since then. The apricot differences are less than I anticipated based on the unrefermented bottle.

This is the definition of #Basementliquid. Musty, dusty, overripe citrus. Still has pretty strong bitterness. Interesting.

Racine A.

Ho.ly. Shit. Very different from 2021 racine and, quite honestly, even better. Same watermelon jolly rancher vibes as Trousseau. So insanely vibrant. This is absolutely perfect right now.

Rosé de Gambrinus (1993) A.

The 93 kriek was definitely better. Some good notes: pretty sour still and some pleasant raspberry jam left, but a pretty buttery / diacetyl off note on the finish. A little corked.

Geuze Mariage Parfait (2010) A.

A steal at $9.98 for a 750. Thanks, MN, for letting this sit on shelves for years and hit close-out pricing. 😁 Slightly metallic, but otherwise a really nice bottle. 4.3-4.4. I'll go back for the other 4 bottles after Christmas. 🤪

Lambic d'Aunis (2017) A.

Improved dramatically from when we last had it 1.5-2 years ago. Grapes give a ton of blueberry/raspberry notes + a hint of white pepper. No reductive notes anymore, just in a great spot for lambic + grape without lambic totally dominating yet.
