Henry Weston's Perry

A delicious slightly sparkling Perry. A good alternative to white wine. Perfect on a sunny afternoon or as an accompaniment to a spicy curry.

(Tasted on September 29, 2023) Henry Westons "Slowly Aged" Perry (7.4% ABV, 500ml). Very pale clear yellow, reminds me of a Sauvignon Blanc. Aroma of pears and floral notes, some acidity, some faint vanilla. Mild carbonation. Sweetish pears and honey at the start, with lemony notes coming in a bit later, Finishes with a drier taste, leaves or pear skins, leading to a short, floral finish. This one doesn't say anything about oak maturation, just "slowly matured". Not unlike a medium dry prosecco. Not bad, but I'll probably stick with the apple ciders (17 different ones coming, hopefully next week). 6/10.

Very pale yellow, clear with mild ish fizz. Aroma of light wood. Pear drop flavour. Light and refreshing.

Pale greenish-yellow, and a light pear aroma, with a hint of wood. Mellow and smooth, with good fruity pear flavour, and some skin in the aftertaste. Refreshing and easy to drink, and way more alcoholic than it tastes. Lacks a little depth and complexity, perhaps, but enjoyable nonetheless.
