This is very well carbonated. Dry, apple and some yeast, which gives a lightly early character. Good palate.

0.375 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', 2015 vintage at 6% abv, cellared for two-and-a-half years. Almost clear, deep reddish amber with a few off-white bubbles on top of it. Sweetish, minimally sourish, gently fruity aroma of ripe apples, light vanilla, some walnut and a touch of wood. Fairly sweet, minimally sourish, quite fruity taste of ripe apples, raisins, brown sugar, vanilla, wood and walnut, followed by a short, intensely sweetish, minimally tartish and a little woody finish. Medium body, slightly oily mouthfeel, flat. Overall quite sweet but simply delicious.

Bottle with the RateBeer MĂĽnchen Tasting group at Hopdog, Munich Thurs' 23rd July 2020. Really good, appearance is a little warm copper, sweet toffee, zippy and gives the tongue a real workout, a superb Ice Cider I am only disappointed that my rating cannot do it justice.

Bottle, 2014 vintage consumed in 2020. Almost clear golden body under a small, rather fast disappearing white head. Looks great. Aroma has a combination of ripe, sweet apple and acidic fresh apple. Moderate acidic aroma with some of cellar notes. Taste is nice, rich, ripe, sweet apple with balancing acid and some wood. Fine body and long lasting, very pleasant aftertaste. Nice, quite classic French cider.
