The taste of a cider is a balance of flavors, sweet, bitter and tart and aromas.
Alcohol intensifies the perception of bitterness and aromas while the effervescence creates relief between these different elements.
- On the palate, the spontaneous impression produced by a cider, indicates its dominant flavor.
- In the mouth, all the flavors present are expressed and combine with the aromas. The freshness, structure and richness of the cider will be able to be appreciated.
- On the finish, the persistence or not of the taste sensations builds the memory of a tasting.
