The sweet matches the heat in this brilliant wine with a kick. We started with Michigan wildflower honey and a ton of Michigan cherry juice. Once fermented, we added a lion’s share of red chipotle peppers to give it a smokey character and medium spice level. A fantastic wine for dessert. Try pairing this with rich chocolate cake.

Ruby with no head. Aroma is chili, nectar, cherry, red wine, honey, clove, even chocolate maybe. Taste is hot chili, red wine and honey. Not too sweet, very balanced. A bit oily but still nice. Good cake-y stuff. I love it.

Bottle, courtesy of DerA. Pours clear dark ruby. Aroma of freshly blooming blossoms, honey, berries. Body is sweet and intense, lightly sour, good chili taste. Spicy and hot on the palate, also lingering on fruit. Very good.

Bottle @ Benzai’s Crazy Carnaval 2017, 5-10 cl sample, thanks all for sharing! Slight hazy reddish color, jsut some frothy lacing. Aroma of a sweet red wine, very fruity, touch of almond. Honey sweetness in taste, spicy chipotle bite. Very surprised, as usually I find meads way too straightforward on the honey. This mead opened my view for meads as lovely dessert wines. Absolutely delicious!

Bottle @ Anti-carnaval Tasting. Clear bright red color, virtually no head. Very nice aroma of cherry and candy sweetness. Flavor is sweet, cherry, some candy sweetness, quite the pepper burn finish. Quite pleasant nonetheless.
