Drank from a 750mL that was under artificial cork. This was a consensus least favorite of a vertical consisting of the '04, '07, '08, '09, and '10. Seemed flat and uninspired compared to the other vintages; still very good, though.

Acidic/funky nose -- kind of cider-like. Wonderful mouthwatering sourness on the medium-light bodied palate. This has classic gueze character, and is impeccably balanced between the sourness and spice. Medium-long finish of moderate intensity. Although I've had better bottles of this brew, this continues to be the best beer I've ever tasted -- when this is hitting on all cylinders it's a 99-100 pt. beer. This is the *real* "champagne of beers!"
B: 50, 5, 15, 18, 9 = 97
