So... after hearing so much about this perry over the years but never actually taking the adequate steps to have some around, I wandered into Astor Wines on the way to the farmers' market yesterday. The cider section there has some interesting things, and this was marked down by nearly $10 (still making it a $30 bottle of pear juice), so I went for it.
Later on, I cut myself some duck proscuitto (what are you supposed to eat with perry, anyway? I mean, other than crêpes) and poured myself a glass.
It was an interesting thing, more complex than its attack presaged. But as I sat with the glass (and switched to roasted cashews to pair), I got quickly bored. I had trouble finishing one glass of it.
So, the rest of the bottle is in my fridge, and I will give it another taste today.
Anyone have any thoughts about this? I've never been a huge Bordelet fan; the ciders seem a little too clean/anonymous. But I'd be curious to hear others' weighings-in.
