(Sample @ the cidery, Oct X 2019) Pours clear lightly pink-tinged orange with no real head. Notes of sweet red apples and honey with rather potent black currant that is more on the sweet than tannic, bitter side, kind of toasty baked notes for a little richness, finishing off-dry with lingering black current candy. Medium bodied, somewhwat oily and still. Decent but I didn't feel like the currants integrated so well, and a visit to Monna is better for your cassis fix on the island.
