Hints of yeast covering a relatively malty nose. The nose is fresh and it's really a shame that fruity notes in a remote background seem to be so hard to prove.
The palate is more pleasant than the memory left by the nose, but nothing worth to scream with joy. Relatively linear, it nevertheless features some nice fruity notes, precisely those having great difficulty in revealing the nose.
The finish is relatively long, cool and pleasant enough. Slightly more complex than the mouth and generating more fun than the nose.
2010The nose is unpleasantly marked by hints of yeast developing on strange curds notes. A touch of smoke...
The mouth does not save it... An alcohol impression and still those yeast hints.
The finish is long and this impression of alcohol persists.
This bottle deserves probably another tasting... The quality of it is not in balance with the general level of this collection...
