500ml brown bottle from Press online. Cellar sleep for three months. Stemless wineglass @home. Clear, honey gold, faintly active pour. Smell is macerated, bold floral, tea, sweet, browned/caramelized pears. Heavy caramelization, tart-dry-aromatic apples, strong acid, Lipton tea, varnish harshness, still leaning dry despite the pear sweetness on the backdrop. Strong forced carb, thin, stubby. Good & better than the base(or maybe it's all a lie).
