75cl bottle. Appearance - golden but more yellow. Initial frothy head from being bottle conditions, then settles down to frantic bubbles. Nose - bitter sweet apples with wood and almost varnishy notes (but not in a bad way). Taste - more of that wood and sweet apple. Almost like sofa polish. Palate - medium bodied and tangy. Long tangy bitter sweet finish. Overall - good stuff.
