A funky factor gives it a complexity over the apple spectrum. Some animalistic and yeast notes, candied orange peel, dried yellow fruits and apple. Fruit cake! Lightly fizzy, has a bit better persistence as a usual cidre, though still not comparable to good wines. Slight, pleasant bitterness, tart apple taste, dry but note bone dry. Showed better right after opening, with air it revealed kind of a sulphur free wine/bretty/funky aspect. Rating? In it's context maybe 88 points, in wine/sparkling rather 86 or so. ABV 5.5%.

Savory and a touch earthy. Quite dry. Very tasty.

Young, refreshing, hot mulled cider in a sparkler. Bubbles are round and firm. All around well-balanced. A worthy addition for the Thanksgiving table.
