2005 vintage. Pours a crystal clear light golden color. The body is 99.9% still, though the occasional bubble escapes from the gathering that collects near the bottom of the cordial glass. Though not as thick as its big brother, Frimas, the Neige sports syrupy legs that cling to the glass well, foreshadowing the inevitably luxurious mouthfeel. The aroma boasts a full-on concentrated apple assault, with seemingly every variety of the fruit, from crisp Washington to tangy Granny Smith on full display. The flavor follows suit exactly, though the concentration and tangy subtleties intensify. A smooth, viscous, almost creamy mouthfeel borders on perfect, though falls just short (perhaps only because I know the Frimas is even more decadent). This is truly awesome stuff that I would love to be able to have on a more frequent basis. As it stands, I feel very fortunate that I am in a position to enjoy on special occasions.

Aug 8, 2008 [1398-20080530] Bottle. Muted apples and sugary apple powder aroma. Clear, light orange yellow body with no head. Light sweet apple flavour has a few sugary tart hints. Medium body has a bit of dry mushiness. Good.

Jul 9, 2008 RB#5400: 5 cL bottle, thanks to Ungstrup. Pours clear and deep golden yellow to orange, no head. Dense apple aroma, sweet and phenol at once - almost mead like. Flavour starts sweet and reveals a solid apple authentic flavour with load of floral elements and phenol. Smooth and warming at once, light sugarish. Citric into the finish - light shivering :)
