Pale-golden with brilliant brass tones, good clarity and viscosity.
Succulent white grape sweetness backed by tons of honey, white pepper and strong citrus-like acidity. It eases in to the orange blossom herbal character which is a bit overshadowed by the grape and honey sweetness but the meads are starkly clean and very free of any strong alcohol tones. Light pepper, stone fruits and soft vanilla all make for a balanced finish.
Rich honey and light minerality are challenged by tart white grape and slowly ease in to orange and tangerine-like citrus. Long honey-almond-vanilla finish accented by nectarine and tart vinousness. Sweet, lightly sticky texture and more classic, rich, big mead-like feel to it than either the Portuguese or Midnight Jack. Lovely stuff, with light oak lingering.

Sampled at the Meadery, 12/12/15. Very bright and clean tasting mead. Grape flavors come through nicely. Has a nicely balancing component that keeps it from getting too sweet. I expected to like the His version way more, but it was actually really close (and I may have even preferred Hers). Very nice mead.
