Brought to Nick and Libby's for dinner. This should be chilled (for some reason I did not think it did, and I think the experience suffered a bit as we tried to chill it). Light to medium gold in color. Some nice candied fruit -- a bit of bitterness (a bit like citrus rind, so not unpleasant). This did not wow me as much as the last time, but that might have been because of the temperature. I think slightly chilled would be better.

Peachy, poached pears, mild ginger, clove, alpine flowers. Somewhat honeyed and exotic, but fresh and inviting and only medium sweetness balanced by a pleasing Ricola-like herbal bitterness. Excellent.

This third try was delicious. Stewed apple and stewed orange peel, with honey and some nice acidity. This is like fall in a bottle. Really lovely.

Gingery and peachy and spicy, but marred by a bit of a shellac streak. Not the best bottle of this.
