75cl bottle from Whole Foods, Kensington. Pours a generally clear caramel gold, thin white ring atop. Aroma of toffee apple, caramelised fruit. Taste is crisp, fruity with caramelised brown sugar, stewed fruit, hints of raisin with gritty wine-like flourishes and racy acidity. Nice effervescence. Great stuff.

2013 bottle. Oily deep golden color with no head. Aroma is super pears, vanilla, some oak, sweet, but nothing too much there. Taste is pears, vanilla, oak, quite the acidity, a touch of tannins. Oily mouthfeel, flat. Awesome stuff, incredible balance here!

Et lite formiddagsglass i garasjen mens vi brygger Sigmunds jul, fra en allerede åpnet 0,75 flaske: klar lys gylden med kort skum. Deilig duft av søte, modne pærer. Smaken er litt mer anonym, men allikevel forfriskende og lettdrikkelig. 5%, iflg etiketten.

750 ml corked & caged bottle, vintage 2017, from Être Gourmet, Belgium. ABV is 6%. Golden colour, pours sparkling with a large white head that actually lasts a while. Distinct aroma of acidic apples, hints of oak. Soft mouthfeel. The flavour is smooth and not as acidic as expected, medium sweet.

Pours clear blonde, medium small white head fades withing a second. Scent is very fruity. Sure enough, it's a perry, but it does remind of apples as well, though they're not in there. Taste is mild acidic, sharp fruityness, fairly dry, with a mild sweet undertone. Fruityness is really balanced. Easy drinker, higher carbonation. Pretty nice perry.

Presented as Eric Bordelet Poiré , 4.5% Small white head, fed by fine pearling in faintly pinkish tinted golden liquid. Fruity nose, more apples than pears it would seem. After some time, an aroma as from Poire William liqueur, all the same. Very cidery, faint hint at caramel. Pretty sour in taste, with a sweet apple-caramel flavour always overlying. Really tart, bit earthy warming up. Titillating feel from the acidity and the CO². Quite slick, as pressed fruitjuice, slightly condensed. Good, but I've had much better perries in the UK.

Rerate, 750 ml corked & caged bottle, as Eric Bordelet Poiré Authentique, from Être Gourmet, Belgium. ABV is 5%. Clear and very pale straw colour, pours sparkling with a moderate head that actually lasts a while. Aroma of pears, a hint of sulphites. Flavour of pears with some acidity (probably over the top already), hints of sulphites. Original rating: 330 ml bottle, simply called Eric Bordelet Poiré, but I assume this is the same perry, with \"Authentique\" reserved for the corked 750 ml bottles. The ABV, however, is 4.5%, not 4% as Bordelet's home page says. Bottle bought from Être Gourmet, Belgium. Very pale yellow colour, pours sparkling with a shortlived white head. Moderate aroma of pears. Semi-dry (or semi-sweet, if you like) flavour of pears, a hint of sulfites. Nice enough to drink, but not extraordinary.
