Berentzen Berentzen Pear Liqueur NV 750ml

Very pale, bisque/pewter/brut Champagne color; minor floating sediment in core. Pear aroma is evident right from the initial sniffs after the pour, but there are also traces of wet cement, pear peel, and butcher's wax paper; second passes detect mostly the juicy, ripe, pulpy pear aspect, which lasts the entire second stage; a pleasingly delicate bouquet. Entry is ethereal, alluringly tart, moderately juicy, subtle yet steady and focused; midpalate plays the tart juiciness to the hilt, leading into the slightly sour, refreshing, acidic but not astringent finish. The strength of this elegant liqueur is its nuanced bouquet, which sets the stage for a delightful flavor profile that delivers the lightweight goods in style. Excellent value!
