Bottle, thanks Davido. Big pear aroma, lightly spicy, bit of funk. Taste is oaky, bit of plastic, pear. Very nice in spite of what it might sound from some of what I've written. Apple fritters...

2017 bottle. Rather clear golden color with white head. Aroma is pears, quince, vanilla, Bratapfel. Taste is pears, quince jam, cucumber, herbs light butter, rustic earthy, mineraly, very interesting character - I suppose this is how Speierling tastes like? Dry finish, sparkly carbonation, mineraly mouthfeel. Very good! Bonus points for specialty.

Bottle shared at home, bottle from Etre Gourmet. Near clear golden with little bubbles. Sour and bitter apples, clean, rusty and cellar wet and sour and dry. Over medium sour, quite bitter. Medium body and low carbonation. Pretty rough for a French cider. Sidre must be a nod to Sidra & Cidre. Bit unexpected and not really what I look for in a cider but it is nice in its own right. Pretty strong sour for a cider!

75cl bottle from Whole Foods Kensington, shared with Soph in Kensington Gardens on a hot, sunny May afternoon. Pours pale gold, spritzy carbonation. Fairly rich, sweet perry pear character compared to standard normal-priced poirés, tart fruit, drying finish. Comes across like a perry-flavoured crémant. Decent.

Bottle, 2016. Red gold, fine pearling. Dry pear, appleskin marzipan sparkles, medium dry sparkly, fullbodied sweetness, sparkly chewy. Hazlenut, old pear, marzipan, impressive balance - dry to sweet, fruity to dry spice. No nonsense great drink.

2016 bottle. Clear deep golden color with white head. Aroma is red apples, vanilla, custard, good funk. Taste is vanilla, juicy red apples at first, then immediately the funk takes over, light hazelnut, going towards a dusty, bone-dry finish. Bone dry, foamy carbonation. Great bone dry Cidre if you are into that. Lots of character going on here, no compromises, bold and balanced at the same time.
