Bottle picked up from Olivers, Ocle Pychard, Herefordshire, consumed 01-02-09 Pours straw coloured with the merest hint of haze, some lees settling on the bottom of the glass. The aroma is slightly sharpish of juicy pear flesh. There is a big up front juiciness in the mouth and whilst initially I thought that this was sweeter than I was expecting it does actually leave plenty of tannins around the gums and on the enamel of the teeth. This is very nice now but in the summer it would be sublime, it tastes far stronger than the 5.9% stated. A7 A3 F7 P4 OV14 3.5
