Oliver's Fine Cider

Louis Jadot

Genevrières Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 1997

Amazing, rarefied nose of butter, quince, and honeysuckle, threaded with a fine scent of cider apples. Lovely balance.

Unfortunately this note was based on what it tasted l like a month ago, as the bottle was now a casualty of the coravin system; opened a month ago, it had lost its vigour and begin to oxidise. The more I use the device, the more I am convinced that it is totally useless with older corks (20 years plus). Certainly the last time I'll ever use it on older vintages, unless I plan to finish the bottle within a week!

Seattle Cider Co.

Harvest Series Washington Heirloom Hard Cider 2014

Distinct, long-lasting juicy apple acidity, with a very fine carbonation. Well rounded mouthfeel and reminiscent of a Normandy cider. Refreshing, but a bit thin and could do with some more body. — 10 years ago

Emidio Pepe

Trebbiano d'Abruzzo 2012

2012. Gold colour. Whiff of cement dust. Like earthy cider. Sea breeze and mushrooms emerge. Balanced, structured. Some heat. Bitterness. Big powerful energetic wine pent up. Long palate. Rich smooth body. Fine Sinewy tannins. Golden heavy silk. Plays in the mouth for a long time — 11 years ago

Blake's Hard Cider Co.

The Celebrated Chapeau Brun Keeved Cider

Chaad Thomas
9.5

A whiff of children's penicillin medicine, the pink stuff, blows off quickly, revealing a leesy, golden apple and skin detail. Generous, rich texture with nice sweetness, fine tannic dryness and grip, and a fresh, lively core. Finish is long snd pulls off towards bitterness, but stays course nicely. Best MI cider I've had. — 11 years ago

Surprisingly fine! Clean, crisp, fresh honeycrisp apple flavor with a delicate effervescence. Great with Gouda or Cheddar. A little fresh residual sugar makes this great with spicy food. — 11 years ago
