Comments: Strong bite, woody cider with fading dark sugars and frankly not much happening. Kinda plasticy throughout.

A Mes rate: Barrel at GBBF. Mid gold with a greenish tinge and quite hazy. Wooden and dry aroma. Lovely dry apple flavour with some great germoline and oaky notes. Puckery and tasty but maybe just lacking a little character.
