Wow! 10 year old Garnacha from Oz. They sure made it look like Spanish wine with the painting and name. Screw-top like most Aussies. Fairly rusty color. More brown than orange you see in some Grenache. Smells nice. Cherry candies and orange peels. Maybe a bit of beeswax candle. Flavors are still popping. Juicy, tart and fruity. Cherry/apple ciders and raspberry sauce. Tannins are excellent. This stuff aged beautifully. Would be fun to put it in a Granacha/Grenache around the world taste-off. — 2 years ago

Oh man. This is so good. So pure. Dileneated pears and chrysanthemum. Great acidity and lovely sweetness. Just so fresh and did I mention... pure. Hot damn! Just plain yummy. Eric Bordelet and Jacques Perritaz (Ciderie du Vulcain) are the true kings of ciders for me. They changed the way I think of the beverage. — 6 years ago

There’s a lot of silly people doing silly things in wine. There’s this what I call the “craft wine” movement akin to the “craft beer” period. It’s all tits on a bull. But this…this is beautiful. Reminds me to keep on perfecting my ciders and wines — 3 years ago

Very nice, dry Breton cider. I don’t have much by way of reference for ciders. This had a dry finish, some limited complexity, and gentle presence of the apple. — 6 years ago

I drink so much local cider in the Pacific Northwest, but it’s good to benchmark occasionally versus the Old World standards. More head on the initial pour than cider in the glass; the head looks more like a malt syrup ale than a clean cider. After dampening down, the cider shows moderate carbonation with steady flow of pinpoint bubbles through ultra clear golden brown. Funk and maybe butter, but a dense apple profile on the nose. Frothy but lightly flavored in the mouth, rich, tending semi dry with a frothy finish. Buttery, malic and slightly perfumed aftertaste. Mild pulp astringency and flavor emerges with repeated tasting. Product is 5.5% alc/vol, unfiltered, unpasteurized. Subtly textured mouthfeel overall and lightly flavored, nuanced and totally delightful, unexpected excellence as it tastes so good in characteristics I did not anticipate it would display. It’s just not crafted as most New World ciders are, in all the best ways. Calling it rustic misses most of the positives, at least of this vintage; there’s much more complexity going on here. Great value and a delightful companion on a chilly early fall evening. — 5 years ago
