peaked at last CT note from 2009. agree with the apple cider note - still there, along with tree nut, maple, and chamomile simmered with honey. Had a sip from the glass and the rest was over vanilla ice cream. Lovely with dessert. Not enough acid (and or too syrupy) for stand alone, Im afraid. And Im generally pretty forgiving. A bit reminiscent of pedro ximenez I’m afraid (ie madierized and merely medium acidity).

primary flavor heavy. ripping acid. well balance grapefruit rind, limoncello, dried apricot, white cherry, almond, and pastry. Solid more approachable (and more enjoyable) than the 1995 champagne we had a few days ago 🤷♂️ fraction of the price. Guess our sparkling palettes aren't refined.
