Pours bright gold with long legs. Piles of cedar. Lightly sweet. Booze wine and apple syrup. Not thick but has a very pleasant body. Surprisingly dry finish. Very stylish and fun to drink. Aged very well could have been more refined.

7-year-old bottle:

The Lure:
In this still, vinous cider stands a proud oak menhir. Some legwork on the glass from the obvious stout apple sweetness to come.

The Festivities:
Distinguished vinosity and delicate apple sweetness greet noble oakiness. Strong flavors are nicely balanced within the tranquil body.

Transcendence:
Incantations to the forest nymphs have proven successful!

Clear pinkish pale amber.Big oak nose, very vinous, grapes are more obvious than apples. Sharp drying out finish with astringent vinous finish, a bit too much for my taste, it doesn’t have so much apple flavor or definitely not fresh apples anyway and seems a bit uni-dimensional toward cork and oak barrel flavors. Well hidden alcohol. Medium body, still, slightly sticky. Oak Juice!
