(750ml 2019 bottle from the cidery webshop) Pours lightly hazed deep gold with a few floaters due to my lack of care, rapidly fizzing whitish head that dissipates and rebuilds. Aroma is not super punchy for some reason, but flavour is much fuller. Notes of a mix of red and a few yellow apples, something pear-adjacent in the finish, lightly 'sweet' in flavour but on a quite dry actual body, definitely some herbal/minty tones coming through, smooth skin tannins, light astringency, a little citrus peel, not-quite-spicebox that I can't place in the bone-dry finish. Lovely active filling pét-nat carb, creamy fizz, light body that drinks bigger. An interesting cider for sure, the complexity and depth of the natural apples reveal themselves in the attack on the tongue. Wish the aroma matched!
