It smells like apple cider with a spritz of lemon. Light, dry with a hint of funk. It really reminds me of a cider from Normandy. Roasted almond and a slight minerality on the finish. A bit underwhelming for the price tag.

Smoky cherry, dried herbs, wet tobacco. Medium bodied, silky with still plenty of freshness left. Licorice root melds with juicy red cherry and smoky notes. Sweet red fruit on the finish. Still a few years left to go.
