Bottle, 75cl corked. 2020 vintage. It's a clear, deep golden colored cider, still and headless. The aroma has lots of ripe apple, some apple jam and apple pie, with some grassy, flowery notes, a hint of something chemical which isn't sulphites, and a touch of apple cores. It's full to medium bodied, with a touch of tannins, a light acidity and a very low carbonation. Ripe apple, a faint chlorine like hint, grass and flower notes, apple cores and a touch of pressed apples, without the juice. Ripe apples, apple jam, acidity and a grassy, floral hint in the finish. There's a strange chemical touch to this one, else it's a pleasant, tasteful cider that could go well with a heavy dessert. 211020

Bottle, 75cl corked. A still, clear, golden colored cider. Headless. Rather sweetish apple aroma, with apple pie notes, apple juice, some cellar and a funky touch. Some alcohol notes too. It's full-bodied and lightly warming, quite dry, lightly acidic, with lots of sweet apple flavors. Some grass, alcohol, cellar, leather and wood too. Some sweetness and a good tartness in the apple dominated finish. A bit too sweetish this one, and surprisingly alcoholic for the ABV level. 210715
