375ml bottle. Pours a rich dark purple color. Aroma is heather honey in the forefront with black currants following. The taste, like the aroma, showcases heather honey, followed by currants, then more heather honey on the back end. The palate is full and coats the mouth well. Finishes long and intense with lingering honey. Paired superbly with a local farmers cheese.

Bottle pour at Schramm's, pours a deep dark mahogany. Aroma reveals that intense bees wax from the base Heather, tempted by tart jammy currants. Flavour is jammy, with intense currants, intense bees wax, and wildflower honey. Elegant and complex. Beauty.

Lighter color of black Agnes. Nose is hugely honey forward. Smells like a honey comb with currant. Flavor. Fresh, juicy melon with honey and it’ insanity.
