375 bottle. This is batch 16. Pour is a purple color. The nose is big and and bold with currants and blackberries. The taste, like the nose, is over-the-top currants and blackberries. Some tart acidity is a nice counterbalance to the whole. Palate is full and coats the mouth well. Finishes long and glorious. Overall: Top shelf baby,

Аромат ягодный, но не сказать что тут черная смородина, скорее черника или яжевика, меда не много, сладость очень сдержанная. Цвет не такой темный как бывают меломели. Во вкусе уже есть как раз таки черная смородина, но по началу есть сладкий мед и ничего больше, как будто быстро изчезает при быстром приходе ягодного сока с ее кислинкой, причем весьма немалой. Этот переход весьма интересен и уникален.

$35, only 11% bottle at a small but interesting bottle shop in Grapevine Texas. Low-ball glass at the employee lodge under a desk lamp. Pour is a very dark but very clear, syrupy, ruby Robitussin. Some of the cork dusted off into my drink. Smell is very vinous & stemmy. Slightly medicinal, herby honey. Sharp currants & black cherry pits. There is more honey in the nose than anticipated. Taste is oily, lemon honey on the stove when you're sick. Middle kicks in the currant, black cherry, sour plum & Pinot Noir. Lots of skin, but so bittersweet in both directions. The bitterness is leafy, twiggy & constant. The honey body & sweetness propels all the fruit forward, not able to express itself fully. So tart in between. I did want more honey character. It's there in spots, but it's fighting a losing battle with all this fruit. A more robust variety next time. The body is oily, rich, tannic, warming, thick & inviting. Great fruit wine.
