375 mL bottle from Whole Foods Market Glen Allen, VA. Pours a clear pale gold color. Big rich apple aroma. Deep, earthy and sweet with a tart twinge that lends an almost spicy and citrusy note. Taste is tart apples. Very tart but also a sweet note. Thick mouthfeel, full bodied. A nearly portlike character overall. Good cider.

Courtesy of ygtbsm94 at the DC Local Gathering. Filtered yellow with carbonation bubbles. Mellow sweet apple flavors. Positively delicious. Mild carbonation in the mouthfeel. Granny-Smith sweet tartness. Tangy and oh-so-nice. World class delicacy.

Recolte 2005 bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours sickly strong and firm legs produced by the clear golden body. Aroma of moss, cinnamon, alcohol, apple and caramel. Taste is sweet apple, syrup, cinnamon, apple pie and light lemon zest. Syrupy and mouthcoating.

375mL bottle shared by puzzl, thanks Andy, poured into a copita glass. Pours a very light copper color. Aroma is very earthy apple and a very woody apple. Taste is perfectly sweet, not too little not too much, with a nicely syrupy yet light mouthfeel. Its cider, what the hell else can I say about it? There is not alcohol flavor but an alcohol heft to it. The mouthfeel is very original for the ice ciders that I have tried.

750ml blue bottle: Poured a light yellow cider with a lightly sweet notes and lightly funky ester. Very well balance and similar to a subtly sweet white wine. I prefer sparking cider with more character but still very good with dinner.

Bottle: Poured a deep golden yellow color cider. Body is really syrupy with some sweet macintosh and some apple pie aspect. Even thought I have to admit that this is well done I found that it is a tad too sweet for my liking. Re-rate: 2000 vintage drank in 2012. The color of the cider has gone from bright golden to dark copper. The aroma has lost some of the apple pie notes characteristics and now replaced with some tired over ripped apple notes. Definitely pass its peak though interesting experience to taste such an old ice cider.
