Sample at RBSG PGH 2016 Grand Tasting. Crystal clear golden color. Aroma of dusty pear and perfume. Taste is sweet pear, but not overly sweet, oily mouthfeel. Very tasty.

2010 version and a big thanks to Duffman for this! Had it at the RBSG Pgh 2016 grand tasting. So beautiful in the mild fruity perfume aroma, makes me think of sex and this girl has legs too boot, right up to her ass. First taste is oh so good and gracious, so civilized with its sweet waxy feel. So strong too, I haven’t had many iced ciders (and this is a perry) but it seems to bring more heat than I’m used to. Mouthfeel is so smooth and civilized, yummy! Makes me all happy inside. Great stuff! this stuff ROCKS! Thanks duff!

Corked bottle; vintage 2012, 9.5% ABV
Amber color. This is like drinking a candy, sweet, syrupy, moderately sour, very fruity, not the most complex, but very deep, luscious, lovely.

200mL bottle, pours a clear bright golden with no head. Aroma brings out baked pears, toffee and caramel. Flavour is along the same lines, with toffee, baked pears, brown sugar and caramel. Immensely complex and desert-like, with no acidity whatsoever. An elegant treat.

Corked bottle, as Domaine des Salamandres Poiré de Glace Cuveé Controverseé, vintage 2013
Amber color. Wonderful aroma of caramelized pineapple pie. Sweet, thick and luscious; the acidity is a bit too moderate, it has interesting notes of caramelized sugars, fruit cake; very nice, not as complex as the best ones but still excellent.
