Bottle (2003 vintage) shared with jerc & mabel - Dec 22/08. Bright golden with a small white head. Aroma of apples, honey and mild funk with a slight cheese note. Initial flavour of sweet apple turns tart in the middle, before moving into a bone dry finish. Interesting and very refreshing.

[1920-20081222] 750mL bottle. Honeyed apples aroma, lots of apples. Clear, light amber orange body with quick white bubbles. Dry and tart apple sauce flavour has mild wood with a dry wood finish. Bubbly super dry medium body. Fair, particularly dry.

2008-12-22. Crisp golden yellow body with a tiny fizzy foam that fades away. Dry musty aroma, light funk and apple barrel. (7+) Similar flavour leaves a dry overall impression, dry fruit and apples. Alcohol in the finish amplifies the dryness. Lightly musty/funky apples. (6+) Average palate. Decent cider but just a touch too dry for me, still nice overall. <i>2003 Vintage bottle shared by GregClow.</i>
