Not distant from the draft version. Has settled a bit, but still a weird thing. Beetroot, roots, earthy, vague sourness. 3.60

Wow. So much more improved than it was. Maybe I’ll age mine some more

This needs time also. Vinous mark is regular, clean, soft. Carbonation is vivid, vibrant, doesn’t look complex but straightforward on the classic pomace. Tartness is good. 4.15

I did enjoyed a bit more the last we had in spring at La Fruitiere. Maybe this is because there’s all these D’Aunis and so it goes way different with having it alone. But the vinous/lambic hybrid is consistent and superior.

Lots of acidity from lambic. It’s intertwined correctly with vinous. But it is really sharp. Lots of dirtiness like salame skin. Vinous and light to medium carbonation. Anyway an honorable component of the D’Aunis family.

I confirm this is probably one of the best in the entire series. Deep woody, spiced, vinous and carbonated on the balance perfection. This one could improve even more because lambic hasn’t drawn his path through. Acidity is coming for sure. Great 4.80

Terrific. Awesome balance and vibrant, lively vinous soul. Deep cherries meat and wooden. 4.60

Deep acidity that takes over the vinous stuff. Incredibly woody and oakey, not the balance I got from other D’Aunis.

A lot more interesting bottle than the 2009. Cork top was completely black and it took some effort to clean the bottle before pouring. Can feel the funk blending with the grapes more interestingly. Tangy and musty. Exquisite.

Vinous over the usual intensity level. Massive pomace and dried grape. Massive funkiness. Some very slight off-flavors but matches in the grand design. Dry, harsh, strong. Heavy persistency. 4.40

Funk and peppery. Carbonation has been turned very low in the aging process. Still a lot of black pepper. Earthy with less vinous part than expected, but it’s a good one. Even a warm caress on throat. Not disappointed by this. Gums smasher. 4.30

Need to be settle still. Not much balance and it has a long moment of void which is not supported by lambic. Tastes like pomace and grape juice/some young wine. Dry, mildly acidic. I enjoyed much more 2019 in comparison. 3.60

Very bright and lively. Dank and musty nose. Definitely my preference among these two grape varietals. Throat coated with funk. Delicious!

Acidic and tartness overwhelms. Leaves very little for other character to develop. Musty and round however on the finish.

Vibrant and vivid. So consistent. Highly carbonated and full of vinous flavors. Mouthfeel is so elegant. Apples, minerality, leather, funk, floral. 4.60

Much brighter and more acidic. Juicy and vivacious. Lambic still complimenting nicely, but this needs at least a year or two more to rest.

Tastes a bit off. Lactic bacteria and apples, some subtle vinegary too. The vinous part is literally crushed and flattened. There’s just a thin, imperceptible minerality, but everything seems to be dominated by sourness of lambic. Rough. 3.60

Possibly one of the very best grapes that lambic can be blended with. Simultaneously dry and juicy. A precursor to our 09 bottle.

Ketchup nose. Unfortunately vinegary, citrusy. Grapes are gone. Not a good bottle.

green apple almost still lambic. had very high expectations for this one. nothing positive I can report about it unfortunately

Not much Cognac into this, but maybe it is the reason because the lambic it is still gentle and not the usual tart/sour bomb. Delicate flavors or funk, leather, brett. Vibrant tartness with no excesses. Fine drinking. Wish all 20y bottles aged so. 4.20

Thanks Lorenzo for this gift. All the Iris vibrant complexity enhanced by the cognac part. Mildly fruity, some sweet candy grapefruit, funk, earthy, spiced, bloody orange, tart attack afterwards. 4.60

Complex and earthy nose. Super hoppy, bitter round lambic vibes. This will be outstanding in some years. It has definitely improved I’m sure since bottling in 2015. Funk starting to intensify.

Sour, but deep rich and woody. Mild dust and oxidation. Quite wonderful actually

Dusty and oakey. Cognac flavors are almost gone to be honest, but the lambic is still alive and doesn’t crush gums with acidity and tartness. It doesn’t have that complexity of LH12 for instance. Not a bad one indeed tho. 4.30

quite sour. no noticeable cognac presence. meh

Had this many times but before Untappd apparently. Stunning Cognac presence. Murky and dusty before the Cognac notes. Melts so perfectly with lambic with some savory suggestions too. Ends like a sour Cognac. Delicious. Dry, rich, even fruity. 4.80

As I remember it is flat completely. This time I don’t smell any aging tho. It has a fully barrel taste and smooth lambic mouthfeel where everything is okay and proper. Great bottle. 4.70

Probably the best bottle I’ve ever had. Much more dense and thick nose. Exceedingly more complex on the palate. Quite bold. I actually gasped after my first sip 😅. Medium lambic qualities and mildly oxidized. Excellent!

big surprise. completely different level than b2 and b3. perfectly balanced cognac and on. carbonation on point. love this one
almost 3 years ago
More of a straight lambic character which is also quite nice. No carb. Deep, woody sour and complex. Only minor hay/horse-pick your characteristic. Overall easy drinking and showing no signs of stopping. Should be even better in a decade if it exists.
