Many thanks for this Prestige Apple Cider to mkujon. (Marcin Kujon) Recolte 2012/Passage en fut 2013 My version from this year was 7,5%. Juz sama butelka, jej ksztalt etykieta zapowiada prestizowego cydra. Czy tak jest? otoz tak, jak najbardziej. Cudowny aromat jablkowej tarty, mnostwo szarlotki z cynamonem, wytrawne, kwaskowe jablka. Wszystko w smaku i aromacie. Wyglad po nalaniu to musujace babelki jak w najlepszym szampanie, szybko rosnaca pianka, srednio trwala. Jak na cydra to naprawde dlugo trwala. Jasne i klarowne, smakowalo jakby wlasnie bylo z osadem. Pelno jablek i to moje ciagle skojarzenie z nalesnikami z jablkami polanymi kilkoma kroplami cytryny. Wytrawne i ozezwiajace, alkohol zupelnie nie wyczuwalny. Raz jeszcze dzieki Marcin za tego fenomenalnego cydra. Wymienione za pewnego Cantillona saint Lamvinus. Nie Zaluję.

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.

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.
