Cloudy bottle from their cider club. Two months of settle time in the fridge did it good. Low-ball glass @home. Slightly dull, but clear gold pour. Sharp, grape-y, cider vinegar, fat, bitter greens. Strong overall scent. Sharp, spicy, lots of parsley. Lots of grape skin. Apples are recognizable as Spanish, with a solid amount of dryness, funk, onion & bubblegum. No info on the bottle if this is wild fermented. Vinegar is low but noticeable. Yeasties give some faded orange flavor on the second pour. Grapes feel like they are heavy & not just a delicate afterthought. Lingering skin on tannins. Second night might have been slightly more bitter. Shacksbury has used these same grapes multiple times, but there's more acidity here than in any of the previous bottles, & I always lean towards that. ABV is a hard 9.5%, maybe more. Not thin, not a Slurpee. Drinkability is naturally high because of taste/want, but gets lower because of potency. I did not want to drink this all in one sitting, but maybe I could. Very tasty. Cheers.
