350 ml clear bottle, purchased at the cidery, no ordinary label, only a small handwritten note around the bottleneck. ABV is 11%. Clear and deep golden colour, no carbonation. Lovely aroma of concentrated apple cider and apple juice, also notes of oak and red wine. Very sweet and INTENSE flavour of concentrated cider / apple juice, oak in the background. Warming mouthfeel. Impressive and expensive.
