Taster. Pours clear deep amber. Aroma is clean pure apple, liquor like, ethanolic, pepper. Body is heavy and strong, pommeau, brandy, walnuts, super alcoholic. Flat, acidic, tart. Rich and complex, also extreme. Wow.

Old rating from a few years ago. Obtained in a trade with tom10101. Thanks! 2009 vintage. Very, very beautiful looking 500 ml. bottle @ home. 15 cl. pour. Freshly opened bottle. Bottle says that it can be kept for 9 months after opening. This one pours quite dark, copper apple juice, darker orange copper, oily rim sticks to the glass on top. Smells of Sirop de Liège, very thick and concentrated apple syrup on top, warming, some Eau-de-vie, wood tannins, vanilla, very clean, high quality alcohol, camomile, lemon essential oil, quite oily, very thick. Taste is quite reminiscent of Sirop de Liège, warming, lingering alcohol, wine tannins, thick caramelized sugar, syrupy thick apple juice, thick maple, touch agave, honey, lemon essential oil, lemon peel, esotheric oils, warming Eau-de-vie, wine tannins, wood vanilla, thick decandent. Very oily and sticky feel to it, slightly watery as well, strangely enough. Tried it woth chilled & room temperature and preferred it greatly at room temperature, this was something else all right. Very unique, rich and decadent. I have a big sweet tooth and I already found 15 cl. to be overkill frankly. Fascinating. ///////////////////// Took another small pour day after opening the bottle. Surprisingly this tasted even better, richer, deeper, more decadend. Even more spirit-like in a good way. Amazing. 4.6 -> 4.7 Newer got another 500 ml. bottle in a trade, made no notes but liked it even more. Sample of a few months opened bottle. Viscous dark amber clear liquid. Nose is all walnut oxidation but amazing caramelized apple, sugar, walnut, candy. Taste is all oxidized alnuts, sugar, cooked apple, syrup, sugar, almost vinous, oxidation hit here quite heavily but it works and it remains incredible. Keeping score.
