Schramm’s Red Agnes is more finely balanced and perceivably less sweet than her Scottish cousin, Black Agnes. Red currants provide deep floral aromatics, a fruitier initial impression, more focused acidity, and a stunning cardinal hue. Lighter and more quaffable than Black Agnes, this mead is dangerously drinkable with a delicately balanced acidity which allows the honey and fruit to sing in harmony together.

Аромат сладкий весьма, прямо много сахара ягодного ощущается, как варенье, красной смородины почти нету, а вот яжевика хорошо чувствуется, мед но лайтовый. Цвет темно красный, пены нету вообще. Вкус еще слаще чем запах. Очень много ягодно медовой сладости, прямо сахара как у быстрого варенья. Снова много яжевики, а вот смородины меньше или даже ее нету, кислинки точно. В конце мед, возможно намеки на совсем легкие травянистые нотки от листьев смородины. В целом хорошо, но слегка однобоко, хотелось больше ноток разнообразных.

Pours clear red. Scent is rather weak. Taste is full, sweet, intense, very fruity. Sticky and swet, very nice though. Just simple enjoyment !

Trust Schramms to be Schramms, they just don't release untasty things. Heavy sweet underneath, but almost completely hidden by loads of tart redcurrants. Great syrupy body, terrific balance, and so much flavour. Magic in a bottle.
