750ml bottle from Middle Farm, Firle and shared in Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with lots of champagne bubbles. The aroma is crushed apple, subtle raspberry. The flavour is super dry, yeasty, funky, almost vinous palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Not too sweet and nicely sessionable.

(Draft at Joran Cidrothèque, Brussels, 20 Sep 2025) Golden colour with big, but brief, white head. Fruity nose with pears, apples, citrus and grass. Fruity taste with notes of pears, apples, marzipan, jam and a generous acidity in the finish. Medium body, dry. Elegant, rich and quite tart. Very nice.

20 litre bag in box direct from Ross on Wye and served in Oldmeldrum. It pours clear deep golden with a bubbly head which dissipates. The aroma is quite fresh and bright, zippy and zingy, crunchy apple, apple skin, sherbet, dried apple, oak, must, white grape, hay and mellow barnyard. The taste is firm and dry, but softens and smooths out, dry oak, light tannin, juicy, crunchy apple, apple skin, dried leaves, light leather, must, touch nutty, light pucker, hint of acidity and very restrained alcohol presence (especially given the abv). Finish dries out. Medium body and smooth mouth feel. Classy and very well balanced. Moreish.
