Bottle from Peterley Manor Farm, near High Wycombe. Orange-gold, no fizz. Sweet up front; apple pulp and vanilla to the fore, A powdery, moderately dry finish. It's ok apart from the powderiness.

Taste comprises toffee apple, caramel, apple pie, tannins, sugars. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Pleasant sipper if a little on the sweet side for my liking.
