Bottle 187ml, Batch 1. Pours a deep dark purple color. The aroma was mild and understated with berries and honey and that gave little warning to the intense flavors that would follow. The taste featured robust berries, a bit of pomegranate, and some tannins. The acidity was quite high giving this a very tart explosion on the palate. Honey sweetness was well offset by the tartness. The palate was full and coated the mouth well. Finished long and glorious with lingering tart berries. Overall: A masterpiece. Paired well with an estate gouda.

Аромат отличный, как будто немного ягод смородины смешали с вишней, немного сладости. Цвет темно фиолетовый, прям как фукорцин без разбавления. Вкус другой, сразу ощущается много гранатового сока, и на финише как будто легкая терпкость от него. Есть также черная смородина и черника. На финише мед, его прям хватает, и сладость в балансе. Очень крутой и уникальный мид, если только добавить бы немного яркости. Пил только эту версию.

Bottle thanks to Adnan. Pours a dark purple with pink head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is berry, earth, honey, wood. Slick body, blackberry, honey, wood, nice sweetness, enjoyed this.

On the right, was in TBBW so I missed the live blind tasting. Tastes like a fancy cranberry, dry notes but also sweet, light floral notes. Almost like pomegranate too.

Bottle shared by Jeff, thanks! Pours an extremely dark purple with no head whatsoever. Aroma has deep slightly tart berry with a bit of dry honey. Flavor has an amazing berry that is slightly tart and sweet with a touch of honey in the finish.

Schramm's tasting #1. B2. Dark purple with a lot of lacing in the bottle. Berry forward, deep fruity, red berries. Intense, not overly sweet. Great!
