Short wine glass pour during Jimmy 43s $10 Tuesday Tasting, NYC Cider Week Edition.
Champagne. Pale, clear gold body.
Slight, slight funk on the nose. Red dessert apples, green grapes, earthy yeast.
Taste is sweet & tart apples. Bruised pears. Citrus rind. A bit musky. Tangy & yeasty. Touch of saline.
Tight champagne carbonation. More acidic then tart. Dry, satisfying woody finish.
This stuff is helping me kick my terrible mimosa habit, one remortgage at a time. :)

Bottle, 75cl corked. A clear, lighlty sparkling yellowish golden cider. Lighlty cellarish nose with lots of pleasant apple scents. Some orchard notes. It’s full-bodied, dry and maybe a bit effervescent, but really pleasant on the palate. Delicious flavor with apples and orchard and a faint cellerish note. Semi-sweet, with a tart touch. Overall, certainly a tasteful cider. 120623

2004 Vintage 750ml (6.9%). Pours with a large white head that diminishes to a ring over a mostly clear golden body. Highly effervescent looking. Aroma is slightly tart, light phenolics, horse, sweet dough, bright and lightly acidic. A bit of soil, sulfur and brown sugar. Taste is rich, acidic, sweet-tart balance, caramel, light oxidation, musty, raisins. Really actually hard to describe, but it feels, rich, complex, and balanced, but my words fail me on true descriptors. A bit boozy, phenolic, rich, lively bubbles, good and interesting.
