It is clearly not a keeper.
Drink it fresh of within 2 or max. 3 years, since then it is going over it's top and loses its freshness and fruitiness.
TN, 21-05-2020:
This bottle is clearly over its top.
The fruit is gone.
Not bad or undrinkable, the after-taste is still the best with some fruit.
TN, 22-05-2020, next day:
Better (!), more fruit than yesterday.
So I had to give it 78/100, because just drinkable.

And I change my mind.
It is not a keeper.
Drink it fresh of within 2 or max. 3 years, since then it is going over its top and loses it's freshness and fruitiness.
So I have to give it 80/100 as it is now.

And sorry (see my earlier TNs of this cider).
Tasting it A-B with 2 other ciders from France which are about twice the price (so the more expensive France ciders you can buy), it is more sweeter than I first thought and a bit simple, but still with the very nice red apple taste (in general I also prefer rosé Champagne over white Champagne, since the red fruit taste give it something extra).
But maybe it was my mood too ?
Or is it (also) getting sweeter with age (which is not unlikely) ?
So, this will be continued.
I only tasted the 7.4%Abv edition, but I saw there is or was an 8.2% edition too (like the Stassen Cidre Grand Cru), which might be drier.

October 5, 2017 - My third bottle and oh, what do I love this stuff !
Such a nice balance between cider/apple and wine or barrel aged beer like bitters and fruit taste. Maybe something like a sweet wood aged 'apple kriek' (I do know that is a contradictio in terminis).
It can be loved by wine geeks and beer geeks alike.
And it is begging for more. You can finish a whole 75 cl bottle before you know it, although 7.4%Abv is not low for a cider.
Buy it and Try it ! -

Today with 'hete bliksem' (a traditional Dutch sour and sweet apples/potato mash with some cinnamon) with beefburger and a little bit of meat sauce with Martini & Rossi Martini Gran Lusso 150th Anniversary Vermouth.
