75 cl bottle from Takamura online. Pale gold, tall head quickly vanishing to lace, lots of bubbles. Lovely ripe pear aroma, juicy and rich, with nice dryness. Delicious pear flavor, sweet and fruity yet finishes nicely dry. Perfectly balanced. Lusciously ripe. It is perfectly sweet, not at all too much, but very satisfying. Good tartness without being acidic. Light, full body, lots of carbonation. Excellent. The best perry I have had, and I still have the Granit to go!

Sample at a tasting at Systembolaget, March 2013. (Label says Sidre Brut Tendre, vintage 2012) Clear golden with a small head. A lot of apples both in the aroma and taste. A bit tart with notes of apple cake, wood and something that reminded of leather. Not that sweet. Actually refreshing and with a dry finish.

500 ml clear corked and elegant bottle with silver foil top, from Vinmonopolet (bestillingsutvalget) - at an outrageous price. ABV is 7.0%. This is a still ice perry, no carbonation whatsoever. Deep golden colour. Strong aroma of concentrated pear juice, a hint of oak and sulphites. Intense, well: EXTREME concentrated and sweet flavour of pear juice. Some oaky notes, and a noticeable bitterness in the finish. Impressive stuff - an exclusive ice perry to accompany desserts, nuts or blue cheeses, or to be savoured on its own.

Bottle courtesy of Drake. Fresh ripe sweet-tart pear aroma. Clear pale yellow with a small fizzy quickly dissipating white head. Looks a lot like champagne. Follows the nose with fresh ripe juicy pear flavor. Light spritzy body, on the sweeter side of dry. Very nice perry.

Had a few samples of this & I just had to pick up a bottle from Astor Wines.
Stemmy wine glass. A spritzy, yellow, lemon-lime soda pour. My nose is so ticklish.
Smell is sweet, bold, bright pear perfume. Differs from the more rounded/floral, perfectly blended & earthy Granite. Red apple note. More tart then acidic.
Bright, sweet, tart, it hits all of these solidly. Bitter skin. Just so crisp. Moderate acidity, & some lingering wood on the finish to dry it out.
Really tight bubbles. Solid structure, despite really strong effervescence.
Not crazy complex, but just so damn drinkable.

Bottle from Pasanella & Sons near the old Fulton Fish Market. What Fulton now lacks in fish, it make up for in pricey, locally grown hippie food. L09/2009 stamped on the cork. Served in a stange glass. Clear, amber gold body. Subtle activity. Smells of browned, bittersweet apples. Peppery greens, minerally sweat, fermenting grain. Has a somewhat unexpected English cider taste to it. Old, bittersweet apples. A little dirty/danky. Hard water. Envelope glue, with a lingering woody vanilla finish. Spritzy carbonation. Mellow, upfront lingering tartness, moderately low amount of acid. Talcy texture. A bit old maybe? Had higher expectations for this.

75 cl bottle vintage 2010 (4,5%) @ vPBF
Foams like a champagne in the bottle. Also some particles floating htere. Aroma has overripe pear, some leathery and earthy notes. Leathery palate. Flavour is sweetish with overripe pears, earthy and leathery notes. A bit too sticky and sweet but good anyway. I like the strong leather notes here.

Aroma is rather leathery with some slightly floury and tart apples. Also lots of earthy notes. Flavour is dry with somewhat tart apples. Dry and very leathery palate. Also some very slight moldy notes that get stronger towards the end of the glass. Probably a bit past its prime, but definitely not bad still.
