Tonight Amy and I opened a bottle from batch #1. Our expectations were quite low, considering the expected ABV (10%+) and the initial tasting we did 1 week after bottling. We were quite pleasantly surprised: the cider had darkened in color and had mellowed quite a bit. The taste of fruit was much more pronounced. Amy said she actually liked it. Success! My basic rule of thumb now: minimum 1 month before tasting.
I am now quite excited about the prospects for the other batches, as I think they will be even better. Cheers!
