Score: 98
2014 vintage bottle served in a Surly Darkness chalice and enjoyed on 01/09/15.
Appearance: Pours a cloudy apricot color with nice fade and tons of floating particulate. Minimal head off the pour, which totally settles. 2/5
Smell: Apricot for days plus some oak. Quite lovely. It's simple, but incredibly appetizing. 5/5
Taste: Tart apricot with a good pucker factor on the mid, which gets more intense as it warms. Notes of lemon too. A little vanilla, oak, and wine character on the finish too. Super lovely mix. 4.75/5
Mouthfeel: Light bodied, mild carbonation. Lovely sourness, without a heavy acidic character. Very dry finish. 4.75/5
Overall: Another home run of a fruited Bu Weisse from de Garde! This one rivals the likes of West Ashley and Fou Foune in deliciousness, albeit less complex than either.
Cost: $10 for a 750 ml bottle.
