It was Manhart's description of Karmijn that prompted me to grow it here in coastal ME. Unequivocally and consistently, it's one of the best three or four (out of forty-something) apples that I grow, and last year was #1 in a November tasting (and it had some pretty heady competition.) I have no qualms recommending this one, although, as most stellar fruits, it is climate specific.

P.S. I still have some wood in the fridge.

excerpt: Manhart says, "biting into a crisp Karmijn" will cause you to "come
up out of your chair", very rich, juicy and "one of the best liked of high
flavored apples".
