Vintage 2009 / honey in smell, austerity in taste. Wonderfull Romorantin from the Loire. Paired with dab and caper (limande capres) and black salsify (salsifis noir)

Overripe pineapple bitters. Herby nose. High on apple acid. Woody aftertaste.

Serious delicous nose: overripe pineapple, mango, walnut. Touch of sherry oxi. Roses, tropical fruits, green apple. Whiff of sweetness, firm tasty acids.

Pronounced sherry notes on the nose. Rounded texture and acid are nicely balanced.

The Tess man does it again. This is as close to a dry cider as it'll ever get. Unfiltered and also has a nod towards Chablis vibes.
