Bottle @ home. Well stored bottle. Clear brown-red body almost without any head, lively carbonation anyway. Aroma has lots of mature cherry with apple cider playing the second round. Some wood and a slightly hint of cellar notes in the nose as well. Taste has an interesting and well-integrated combination of ripe cherry and apple together with oak that almost gives a hint of grapes and actually feels quite vinous. It’s medium sweet and the acidity is moderate with soft carbonation. Fine body with a pleasant aftertaste. Nice and balanced, I think a few years in the cellar has done good things with this cider.

Bottle, 75cl. A clear deep ruby colored drink with some white bubbles. The aroma has some cherry pits and cherry along with apple cider and a touch of oak. Some alcohol and grass and a wee melon hint. It's medium bodied, warming and quite softly carbonated, with a cherry driven flavor. Apple, marzipan, grass, alcohol, cherry pits, some oak and a light touch of apple pie. Long finish. Well, not sure about this one. It's nice in many ways, but the cherries play on too many strings and I'm not sure I like them all. Perhaps a bit too warming too. 210603

Fra flaske hos produsenten, Fridtjofens Hardangertokt aug-20: klar rødgylden med perlende munnfølelse. Nydelig smak av Hardangerepler og-moreller. Fatlagringspreget er tydelig. Syrligfrisk og akkurat passe søt.

30.11.2019, 0,75l bottle (2018 vintage) @ home:
Nice bubbly shortlasting head, clear light reddish color. Aroma is slightly dry fruity, apple peel, hay, apple cores, grass, oak, flowers, minerals, cherry stones, hints of red berries and dusty vanilla. Taste is slightly dry sour-ish fruity, apple cores, hay, oak, grass, cherry stones, flowers, alcohol, sour apples, red berries, bark, tiny hints of dusty vanilla. Medium bitterness, slightly boozy and dry sour-ish fruity mouthfeel. Fair enough, but not close to what I had hoped for...
