Tantaka Arabako Txakolina Hondarrabi Zuri 2018

Amazingly delicious and complex natural Txakolina. Has the chalkiness and seashell minerality of a good Chablis and I think it could age just as well. — 4 years ago

On our sofa for Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor Juanjo Mena is leading BRITTEN (Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes), MOZART (Piano Concerto No. 9 in E-flat) with the talented Garrick Ohlsson on piano and then concluding with BRAHMS (Symphony No. 3).

We're experiencing intense thunderstorms coming through the area tonight and generally the BSO staff prevents people from gathering on the Lawn ever since a patron was struck by lightning in 2008... So for safety, we're at home enjoying beer tonight! Thank goodness for radio simulcasts!

Color is red-purple-brown, still translucent but dark. Mostly a still beer, no notable bubbles at all. Sour/cherry/oak aspects on the nose. Palate is mild-sour, which is good if you're new at these styles of beer, it's more welcoming. Palate is distinctly tart cherry, with a lingering of oak in the finish. Nice accomplishment by the brewmaster in blending of barrel-aged stocks, smooth and enjoyable! — 6 years ago

Color is a translucent pink-orange, mostly still (almost no carbonation natural or otherwise). Sour/Fruity aspects on the nose. Palate is a sour...leading with fruit possibly derived from cherry or blackberry, or at least those are the notes I pick up. Very refreshing, I love sours, domestic or imported! — 6 years ago
