Bottle shared at home. Bought in a small cave. I’ll look up the towns name, it was: Pénestin! (Penistown, how could I forget?!). The couple owning the cave (Cave “La Boutique des Producteurs” across the street from the church) produced their own wines and explained they only sold cider from an acquainted couple. Very friendly people. The bottle pours a clear golden, completely flat looking cider. The first notes are smokey, woody, very dry, old peels, greasy cheese, thyme, yellow paprika, soft oily and funky in the background. Wow. This is quite a stunner. Juicy and sweet up front, greasy and dry in the finish, quite some tannins at play. Moderate sweet and bitter, almost no notable sourness, maybe just some apple tartness. Over medium body, soft and greasy oily feel, sticks to the glass like a proper wine. Soft and little carbonation. Really nice stuff. Goes on the Would-like-some-more-please list.
