Sample courtesy of Grumbo via danlo, cheers. Aroma apple, funk, wood and grape. Taste is of sharp apple with a dry finish. Not bad.

Bottle from Astor Wines. Goblet @home. Cloudy, muddled gold. Skimmed, lacey. Boozy grape essence. Apple pommace junk. So strong. Ugly fermentation, apple/oj/sweet corn/grapes, citrus rind, floral, wax. Super yeasty. No amount of seller sleep would have helped here. Creamy, acidic, some tart, some plastic, too yeasty, too boozy. The sulfites really hurt. Ugh. Saving half the bottle & coming back. Edit: Second visit was drier, sharper, just as citrusy. Waxy, grape nose. Still very yeasty, plastic-y, & the odd funk was unsettling. 2.5 ->2.9

Sample thanks to Danlo: Poured a golden with a white whisper head. Aroma is apples, vinous, grape, perfume. Taste is apple, tannins, grapes, tart but subsides.

24/10/2021. Bottle sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear pale gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of apple core, wood, citrus, grape. Moderate sweetness, medium tartness. Medium body, average carbonation.

750ml bottle from Le Social. Opened with a loud pop. Sparkling, orangey gold colour, short-lived fizzy white foam head and aroma of apple, grape, woody hint. Taste is fleshy apple, grapey, with some drying earthy tannin. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry tannic finish. Quite drinkable.
