Nose: Dried apples and tannins. Cinnamon root, cloves, grated ginger, orange peel, and something slightly nutty.

Palate: A barber shop quarter, all with low voices. Great balance of tart and oak while still coming out sweet somehow. Sourdough with apple butter. Touch of cider vinegar. Sour cherry juice.

Rating: 6 / 10 – just lovely. I always like pommeau, but this manages to capture the oak nicely
