Soft, sweet, juicy, rich, heavy honey with baked apple, cinnamon, spicy, acidic, balanced. Good lord that's intensely good. Lingering spice, honey, vanilla. Baked apple...pie? Definitely.

2020 barrel, essentially the same description: \"Aged ice cider with intense flavor and a beautiful balance of sweetness, acidity and toasty oak. Aged in French Oak white wine barrels for 1 year.\" Clear deep golden color. Aroma of apple flesh, tannins, white wine. Taste has big vanilla, sweet apple flesh, light lemon, minimal tannins. Delicious
