Comments: Standard Basque sidra that is perhaps a touch more vinous than most.

bottle. strong acids and esters in the nose. medium must, juicy apples with a bit of grain/husk character, which is odd in sidra. high acid, medium-high bitterness, low carbonation / effervescence. quaffable and delicious with a lingering astringent and oily finish.
