UPDATED: MAY 26, 2019 0.5 l bottle from local 'Getränke Hoffmann', 2017 vintage, bottled in November 2018. Clear, golden with a thin, fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, sourish, quite fruity and gently woody aroma of ripe apples and some oak. Moderately sweet, slightly sour, quite fruity and slightly woody taste of ripe apples, some oak and a touch of vanilla, followed by a medium long, gently tart, fairly woody and quite dry finish.
