Hands down the best cidre I have ever had. Gorgeous gold coloration and a sweet apple (obviously) taste. Bit of spice etc...but real real good.

Lovely stuff. Bit of weirdness, apple tartness.

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Clear golden. Light funk, dry apple, apple peel, cinnamon, almonds, sweet apple, light calvados and brandy. Under medium sweet and light bitter. Solid medium bodied, light boozy finish. A good cider, but Dupont are not my favorites and this is a bit overrated imho.

0.75 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', 2015 vintage at 7.5% abv, cellared for about two years. Clear, golden amber with a thin, fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly sourish, gently fruity aroma of ripe apples, walnut, vanilla and some marzipan. Slightly sweet, a bit sour, quite dry, moderately fruity taste of ripe apples, dust, oak, some honey and a touch of vanilla, followed by a short, moderately tart, fairly woody-dry and a little alcoholic finish. Thin to medium body, a bit astringent and quite effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Nicely balanced and relatively rich cider, really pleasant and easy-going. Still, I expected a little more depth regarding its high rating, maybe aging for too long fades out the barrel too much?!

31/12/2019. Bottle sample courtesy of minutemat, cheers! Pours clear bright gold with a fizzed short lasting white head. Aroma of rich fermented apples, caramel, brown sugar, it's been nicely enhanced by its time in the calvados oak casks. Medium plus sweetness, slight tart edge. Medium body, syrupy texture, average to soft carbonation. Liked this, very drinkable.

75cl bottle (7,5%) as vintage 2017 from the cidery (visited 9. 5. 2019), shared with my wife. F: no real, some bubbles. C: mellow gold, almost clear. A: nice apples, woody, apples skin, bit calvados touch. T: mellow apples fruity, bit calvados, woody, apples skin, vanilla touch, bit more like on the sweet side yet very nice, relatively easy drinkable, soft carbonation, rich fruity taste, very nice but still I expected a bit something more great, fully enjoyed.
