Bottle from Aeble, Anstruthter. New apple tick! It pours slightly hazy bright, almost luminous gold. Slight fizz on opening but no head. The aroma is musty, dairy barnyard vibes, animal muck, apple skin, leathery, but later it is bright and zingy, crunchy apple and some red berry. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, fizzy candy, puckering, crunchy apple, definitely has a red berry/strawberry character to it, light tannin, dry oak, hint of acidity, splash of dry white wine and some funk in the backdrop. Finish is drying and tannic. Lovely depth of flavour and very unique apple character. Very nice.
