Bottle, 75cl. 2019 vintage. It's a crystal clear pale yellowish golden colored cider, still and headless. The aroma has some sulphur and a good dash of apple cores, with fresh apple and some grassy notes. And some alcohol in the far back. It's full-bodied and still on the palate, with a touch of alcohol warmth and a light acidity. Fresh apples, apple core notes, some sulphur, a touch of cellar and some alcohol in the flavor. Long, smooth and delicious apple flavor, unfortunately with a tad too much sulhur. Except for the sulphur, it's a very fine cider indeed. Tasteful, smooth and dangerously easy drinkable. 211231

YG 201021. Straw color with no head. Aroma is apple, funk. Flavor is apples, funk, citrus, yellow apples, grass, alcohol. Nice cider.

Bottle, 75cl. Vintage 2020. It's a clear, still straw colored cider with no head. Quite alcoholic and a bit yeasty on the nose, with a light sulphuty touch. Fresh yellow apple, some apple cores and grass too. It's warming and medium bodied, semi-dry and rather flat on the palate, with a good apple flavor. Some grassy hints and apple seed bitterness, along with a tad much yeast or just plain old sulphite. Long dry finish. A bit rough this one, with little room for the apple aromas and flavors. 211204

YG 080921. Pale golden color with some white bubbles. Aroma is apples, yeast, sulphur. Flavor is apples, yeast, sulphur, alcohol, grass. OK cider.

Bottle, 75cl. 2019 vintage. It's a clear one, pale golden to straw in color, with a few bubbles. No head. It's quite funky on the nose, grassy and with a good dash of ripe yellow apples, some generic apple, apple cores and alcohol. It's medium to full-bodied, warming and mostly still, with a light sweetness as well as some fruity sourness. Ripe apples, yellow mostly, with grass, apple cores, leathery hints, some barnyard and a bit too much alcohol, and a very light touch of yeast. Lasting warming finish with ripe apples, funk and a faint touch of grass, yeast and sulphur. Nice, but a bit too still to match the sweetness and alcohol level. 211019

Bottle, 50cl. Label says 75cl. Vintage 2018. It's dark straw to pale golden in color, almost entirely clear, with lots of carbonation leaving a thin layer of white bubbles. The aroma is lightly alcoholic, with a hint of funk and sulphur, but mostly it's ripe apples, feeling like it's not all apples meant for eating. It's quite effervescent, rather hefty carbonation actually, a bit warming, full-bodied and with a little astringency. Ripe apple, some apple core bitterness and bark notes, grass, alcohol and a faint touch of whitecurrant or gooseberry in the flavor. Lasting dry finish with ripe apple, some berries, grass and alcohol. A bit harsh this one, and judging from previous ratings it might have been better when fresher. And hopefully less carbonated. 210908
