Bottle from the Christmas market in Annecy. Pours clear golden amber. Aroma is rich, lightly spiced caramel, stewed apple. Taste mirrors aroma with an intense, rich, stewed apple character. Great slick, vinous mouthfeel. Another great ice (sorry, fire!) cider from this producer.

Tasting at Matt's, corked
Very pale color. Sice aroma, dry, some apple, a lot of sulfur, light hazelnuts. Very dry mouthfeel, too much carbonation; the flavor is very simple, and it ends with some astringency.

750mL bottle, explodes out of the bottle, pours a clear blonde with a quickly-dissipating white head. Aroma brings out light sweetness and champagne effervescence. Flavour is bone dry, with loads of champagne, bone dry apples, and a touch of funk. Lovely bone dry mouthfeel, seeming more like a champagne. Very good.

Amber, bright. Aroma has rich apple, sirop de li�ge, and just showing a lot of richness. Juicy, sweet caramelized beautiful apple, dense, rich... this is beautiful and the fire technique lends a lot of raisiny, caramelly stuff.
