18.01.2014, 0,75l bottle @ home:
Small bubbly shortlasting head. Aroma is yeast, alcohol, oak, thinner, hints of dry apples. Taste is both sweet and dry at the same time, boozy, yeast, sweet apples, oak, thinner. Horrible, this is probably something anyone could make at home, without even having a clue how to do it.

11.01.2014, 0,75l bottle (2010 vintage) @ home:
Completely flat (with some bubbles) as I guess it should be. Aroma is slightly dry concentrated apples, kind of caramelly, oak, apple skin, sorrel, hints of thinner. Taste is very thin dry and grassy, almost medical harsh, oak, apple skin, grass, sorrel, dry unripe apples. Very dry wooden mouthfeel, no carbonation, still there is some kind of fizziness lingering on the tongue. Not my cup of tea.

31.12.2013, 0,5l bottle sampled @ home:
Completely flat, looks like apple juice. Aroma is slightly sweet fruity, fresh slightly concentrated yellow apples, grass, apple skin, hints of caramelised sugar and raisins. Taste is lots of sweet yellow apples, grass, apple skin, oak. Slightly harsh and warming boozy mouthfeel. Fair enough.
