2020 750mL bottle drunk 7/13/24. Clear brass with a bit of spritzy bubble in solution. Luscious, prominent apple nose with rich but mellowed sugars and very gentle malo-lactic acidity. Low oak. Incredible strength and clarity of aroma for 4 years old. In the mouth it's near-flawless. Just the right amount of sweetness and texture with hints of malo-lactic and oak character in the background for added depth. Soft, frizzante texture and a massive complexity of apple character.

Slim 750ml bottle from the Press fan club. It has traveled a bit. Sensory-liked texture on the label itself. Two weeks in the fridge after a month in the dungeon. Mojito glass @home. Faintly cloudy, medium honey, dull, almost still. Earthy farm funk nose. Sweet, very brown apples, unintentional spice & fermenting hay stuffiness. Lots of fermenting hay & peach till it airs out. As it warms, it fumes appetizing spiced apple notes. Upfront green pepper twang, semi-sweet plum & cider vinegar, lemon rind, earthy, leather bittersweet snaps everything back, drier, tough of glue, herbal & softly sweet apple skin finish. Restrained funk & enough bittersweets is really the idea here. Moderately acidic but sweet enough, boozier than the list, dries out, just barely a whisper of carbonation. Very, very good.
