Récolte 2007, # 75 de 5866 bouteilles produites. Dégusté à température de mon cellier 10 degré celcius dans un verre de dominus vobiscum grande réserve. D’apparence jaune or limpide avec de micro bulle en suspension et d’apparence très liquoreuse car l’empreinte du mouvement de mon verre laisse de belle trace encore visible. Arome complexe de fruits confits et exotiques: la pomme, la poire, l’orange et le fruit de la passion avec une légère odeur de gingembre. D’une grande classe en bouche! Nous pouvons goûter le gingembre, la pomme cuite, le caramel, le sucre de canne et le sel et oui le sel. Une jouissance à chaque gorgée: de la rondeur, de l’épaisseur, de l’alcool bien camouflé, du huilleux et surtout de la finesse. Le salé reviens encore et est très spéciale en se réchauffant, j’ai l’impresssion de manger une tarte au pomme. Je goûte aussi, la canelle et encore du sel. Wow, pour la première fois je peux me permettre de dire que je vie un moment de plénitude avec un cidre. Un achat que je ferai a chaque année pour laissez vieillir dans mon cellier pour un bon 10 ans. Encore une fois, je suis très surpris, un goût intriguant et stymulant, du bonbon. Attention, ne pas partagez.......... Il est toujours possible de faire mieux mais comment, le seul moyen de le savoir c’est de donner à ce petit bébé quelques années de repos à l’ombre. Il est marqué sur la bouteille de le géguster avec un fromage bleu, chose que je ferais avec de bon amis. Il faut absolument me donner des excuses, car le fait que ce liquide touche encore mes lèvres me rend totallement impatient. Encore une fois bravo!

Bottle at the TURD tasting. Big sweet aroma of apples, caramel and spices. The flavor follows with rich and intense apples, nutmeg, honey, and caramel. Holy hell this is good.

[375ml bottle courtesy of cgarvieuk] Looks like golden syrup. No head, of course. Aroma of slightly spiced apple, reminiscent of a Danish pastry. Sweet, syrupy apple flavour with a hugely rising sweet sticky finish. Reminded me very much of a dessert wine, as it also had that slight Botrytis honey edge on the finish, alongside the sweet stewed apple. Summed up in two words – sticky, and sweet. Very nice apple flavour though, no question. Like drinking apple honey [22042012]

Bottle at Max’s for the Turd Tasting courtesy of Ryan. Pours a golden syrup with no head or lacing. Aroma is freshly cut apple slices, apple sauce with cinnamon, light funk and earthy tones. Mouthfeel is syrupy and rich with notes of honey, apples, cinnamon, earthy spices, light funk, apple sauce and apple juice. Probably the best Ice Cider I’ve had the pleasure of trying thus far.

UPDATED: APR 27, 2012 In bottle, thanks Alex! Pours a dark golden colour with an amazing aroma of spiced apple strudel, sweet creme brulee, cinnamon, cloves and lychees. Similar flavours with plenty of lovely spiced apple again. Mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel. Superb!

2008 vintage at cgarvieuk’s Danish Invasion tasting. Clear viscous golden pour. Looks like Sauternes. Incredibly rich nose, apple pie, cooking apples, creme brulee/vanilla, slight marzipan, orange blossom, some warm alcohol. Amazing light sweetness, elderflower, floral, not at all cloying, incredibly complex flavours, tart apples, amazingly rich, some light spices. WOW.

Bottle at MaxxDaddy’s tasting. Pours amber. Nose/taste is absolute perfection in a glass - sweet syrupy honey and liquified frozen apple. Sweet but well balanced and perfectly constructed. Medium body.

Bottle at craig’s, thanks Alex. Pours like apple juice, glowing golden yellowish with a small white ring of head. Aroma is massive, very intense, sweet apples, with a wine like fruitiness, incredibly pleasing. Taste is divine, sweet intense apple with a slight honey edge, such an intense apple flavor. Very sweet and dangerously drinkable, tantalises the palate. An absolute pleasure to drink, a truly remarkable beverage.

Bottle shared at the NY Meet the TURD tasting; thanks rciesla! Pours a shiny gold, headless. Rich aroma of apples, nutmeg, and Jennifer Love Hewitt’s tits. Great intense flavor of apple liqueur, apple skins, and pumpkin pie. Savory and syrupy sweet while just dry enough to be balanced. Rich and delicious!

Bottle. Golden yellow pour with no rad. Über sweet apple and slight sweet honey and almost maple tones. Delicious. Enough said.
