Corked 750ml via Eve's bottle club. Couple month's in the basement, day in the fridge. Pint glass at home.

Clear, pale amber, weak lace pour.
Earthy, honey, new leather nose. Fresh but slightly subdued.
Constructive tartness upfront. Sweet cherry & bittersweet apple, leaf mulch, faint vanilla, gum, apple skin astringency on the tail.
Off-dry leaning dry. Eve's only leaves a bit of sugar in a few bottles, rather they usually ferment dry & water down. Thin with a textured finish.
Intentionally still but there's still some bubbles from agitation.

Great. I want to rate this higher.
