500ml bottle from Baggot Street Wines. Slightly hazy pale yellow gold colour, short-lived white foam head and vegetal, apple aroma. Taste is tangy apple, fruity with a vegetal funky note and drying tannins. Medium bodied, lightly spritzy carbonation, dry tangy finish. OK...

500ml bottle from Selfridges, Trafford Centre. My only purchase from a monolithic shopping centre.. go figure. Pours a murky dark brown just like freshly pressed apple juice, aroma is sweet, sugary apple pie pastry which doesn’t follow as much as I expected in the taste which is still fruity but with a musky haze and a cheek-puckering dryness. The missus didn’t approve but I think this is great.
