We had our first few keepsake apples this year - I believe the trees are 
in their 3rd year, but on larger rootstock (MM.106 I think). Their 
flavor I would rate as quite good (one of the better ones we grow), 
crisp flesh, thin skin.  It's a typical, but not heavily marketed apple 
in these parts, probably because it's one of the later season apples.  
It's also a fairly good keeper - good for at least 3 months or more.  
Every year when I get to the season for keepsakes I'm pleasantly 
surprised at how good it is.
