0.75 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', 2015 vintage at 7.5% abv, cellared for about two years. Clear, golden amber with a thin, fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly sourish, gently fruity aroma of ripe apples, walnut, vanilla and some marzipan. Slightly sweet, a bit sour, quite dry, moderately fruity taste of ripe apples, dust, oak, some honey and a touch of vanilla, followed by a short, moderately tart, fairly woody-dry and a little alcoholic finish. Thin to medium body, a bit astringent and quite effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Nicely balanced and relatively rich cider, really pleasant and easy-going. Still, I expected a little more depth regarding its high rating, maybe aging for too long fades out the barrel too much?!

31/12/2019. Bottle sample courtesy of minutemat, cheers! Pours clear bright gold with a fizzed short lasting white head. Aroma of rich fermented apples, caramel, brown sugar, it's been nicely enhanced by its time in the calvados oak casks. Medium plus sweetness, slight tart edge. Medium body, syrupy texture, average to soft carbonation. Liked this, very drinkable.

750mL bottle at Holm, pours a clear pale golden with almost no head. Aroma brings out barnyard funk, Belgian yeast, and champagne. Flavour brings out champagne-like effervescence, with light funk and Belgian yeast. Clarity isn't great but it's a nice cider.

750mL bottle at Holm, pours a clear pale golden blonde, no head. Nose is full of champagne yeast, brut-style, with barnyard funk and light acidity - almost smells more like a white wine. Flavour is bone dry, with barnyard funk, light tannins, and champagne yeast a la a brut. Dry and complex. Lovely.

As „Familie Dupont Cidre Bouché (2017)”. Crystal clear dark gold, sparkling white head. Smells of apple juice with some cidery funk. Similar taste - sweet and simplistic, light highly carbonated body, mild cidery - cannot even call it vinegary - notes. Not serious.
