Bottle shared with RJ. Clear golden pours, no head. Intense apples in your face, varied and wide range of fruit expression, quite interesting. Flavour is sweet upfront, quite obviously backsweetened but then the finish is highly tannic, dry, rounds the sweetness nicely. Not bad, got a touch too much of the sweetness for my liking.

Bottle from Eko Plaza. Clear golden with sort lasting fizzy head. Sweet apple juice, apple pie, a lot of farmyard funk, quite leathery, oak, dry whisky, apricot, wite wine. It's actually quite sweet, and ligt sour and bitter. Solid medium body, sparkly carbonation and medium dry. Nice, but quite sweet.

Clear dark yellow colour with thin head and fine carbonation. Feels very natural, close to raw, fresh juice. Slightly sweet but with a dry finish so it works well.

Melig appelsapje met veel tannines, takjes, uienvellen, ge-dry-tenenkaas-d. Boergondies genieten. Mooie zachte eenheid met van alles wat, zoet, bitter, funk, en fruitzuur mooi op de achtergrond. Proeft gerijpt en smaakt naar rust en roest. Prima spul.
