Bottled (Vintage 2003). Golden colour, not much head, but rather sparkling. Aroma is "bittermandel", mild farmyard, sweet apples, mild almonds, and slight spicyness. Flavour is mild farmyard, sweet apples, mild sweetish almonds, and some slight wooden notes.

500ml bottle. Pours a clear light gold, with a wispy, fading, cider head. The aroma is mainly appetising sweet apple, with some cane sugar, and is typically Normandy. Delightfully sweet and fruity to begin, with a well-rounded finish and just a hint of alcohol, yet restrained and crisp on the palate throughout, this is a fine example of the Normandy style.

500 ml bottle, 2006 vintage. Rich aroma of caramel apples, apple pie, cinnamon. Medium to deep gold color with lace. Flavor of caramel with a burnt edge, a bit of dusty funk, some metal. Very sweet for a cider labeled “dry.” Slightly aged taste. Very rich. Interesting and somewhat complex, though a bit too sweet and desert-like. Good, but way too expensive.

Aroma of lightly tart apples and peel. Flavor is more sweet than tart but is similar to the aroma otherwise. An OK cider, but not something I would buy again.

Clear golden with medium white short lasting head. Dry aroma with apple,cooked apples and woody notes. Dry flavor with natural apples, wood and phenol notes. Ends dry.
