Bottle tasted @ Jimmy43s. Wine glass. I may or may not have had their pommeau a few times before reviewing this one. :D
Slightly hazed, aged yellow body, made a touch darker by the room’s lighting.
Smell straight off is rough. Sulphor, stinky cheese, moldy hay/lawn trimmings, & all boldly so. Once all that airs out(or you take a long enough breath), you get some earthy caramelized & sharp apples, along with some mold/wood rot. Didn’t get a chance to check out the cork.
Taste is much better, but not amazing. Quick hitting acid & tarts, they soon die, leaving a delicate/soft apple sweetness & some green grapes skin tannins. Softly carbed & a touch slick. It sadly all dries out & disappears without much of a fight.
Lacked some structure, & the barnyard was way over the top imo. Hope they were just some old bottles.
