| VIEUX CALVADOS AC, apple-shaped carafe |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
G.E. MASSENEZ |
| Medium gold yellow colour. Slightly spicy, gently sweet, honeyed, caramel-tinged, apple-pear puree nose. Favourful, dry, medium bodied, faintly honeyed, somewhat spicy, fairly intense, ripe apple puree flavours with a lingering finish. It comes with a sizable apple in the bottle meaning that the actual liquid Calvados contents is approximately only 550 ml of the declared 750 ml. Last appeared in Vintages (**+) on March 2, 2013 at $59.95 and was an Explorer Selection. |

| TASTING NOTE: Apple genie-in-a-bottle packaging is really eye-catching. (Trivia question: How do they get the apple in the bottle?) Attractive medium-gold colour with aromas of apple-cinnamon, cloves, pie crust, caramel and even hints of yellow pear. Dry with a subtle, elegant apple-cinnamon replay. Chill it slightly and serve it as a digestif, or enjoy it with fresh cinnamon scones or baked apples. (Trivia answer: They grow the apple inside the bottle, right on the tree branch!)
