Bottle at home, 24/06/18 watching England take Panama apart. Clear golden copper with a moderate light beige covering of bubbles that dissipates edgeward. Nose is funky apple, wood, caramel, light booze, spice, straw. Taste comprises bitter sweet apple, caramel, booze tang, light smoked pork effect, vinous tones. Medium bodied, still with mininal carbonation, light funky edge and some booze at the curtain call. Not bad.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Fergus. Pours clear yellow-gold a few bubbles. Dry apples in the nose. Light sweet flavour, a little salt, apple skin, lemon peel. Light bosied, soft. Lightly drying finish, a nip of funk, tangy apples. A little watery. So so overall.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at Kris Wines about five years ago. Pours clear gold. Nice aroma, some musty pear, apple skin, lemon. Light-medium sweet flavour with refreshing acidity, a little warmth, earth. Medium bodied and broadly soft. Warming finish, tart, some lemon, more musty pear, a little sugar. Great stuff.

Bottle at LKS. It pours clear blush - gold with no head. The aroma is sweet, ripe pear, melon, red fruits, honey, tangy lemon and pear skin. The taste is dry, tart, tannin, lemon peel, tart pear, gooseberry, white grape, touch of acidity, sherbet and sour candy with a firmly dry finish. Medium body, flat and slightly oily in the mouth. Nice tart vibes.
