Pre-WWI Borderies from Heritage Rene Riviere and bottled by Malternative Belgium
Malternative Belgium BORDERIES HRR 1912 40%

And one following another, 1912 from HHR and bottled by Pieter.
Colour: Dark amber, gold lights. Regular medium tears.
Nose: Heady citruses notes. Very waxy. Quite fresh and zesty. Sharp and dry kind of Borderies.
Mouth: Dry texture. Clean palate, very fresh and waxy again. Hints of mint tea and dry heather notes. Quite waxy again. It has been tea-spooned with Clynelish, nope?
Last Notes: Mineral fresh style. Very intellectual, not the easiest as I discussed with Pieter but what a kind of Borderies! Chalky but a tad of roundness in the background, with a bit of wild rancioted farm notes (HRR DNA…).
Yep, as I said, not the easiest profile to taste. But everything is here and delivered with precision.
