75cl bottle. Appearance - golden with a hint of orange. Gentle bit of bubble. Nose - farmyard note, bruised apples and pears. Taste - mineral, creamy custard and cooked pear, a big tarte tatin. Palate - medium bodied and very creamy. Overall - didn't expect it to be so creamy and that was a nice surprise against the expected tang and high acid.

Bottle shared in London - enormous thanks to Daniel Osprey. Pours clear yellow with no head. Quite dry and musty, very mild apple peel character. Medium bodied, soft. Dry and musty finish, with honestly very minimal dank apple skin notes. So so.
