Cellar Notes - Boon Kriek Mariage Parfait 2004

2004 Vintage / Tasted Oct 2006 (14/20)
Thin head, very clear ruby red on colour. A touch of bottle stink early but this soon blows off the leave cherry fruits dominating. Lots of tart and sour notes early to taste but settles to let some cherry and fruit peak through. Tart fruits underpin the palate in a rather unique fashion totally coating the underside of the tongue. Finishes a touch short but not deal breaker. As per other decent gueze and lambics its tough to see the bottle age such is the robust structure. Only blemish was a dirty sulphuric character that wouldn’t subside.

(e5.20 @ Afspanning ’t Waagstuk in Antwerp, consumed October 2006)
