We took Aphrodisia made with Pinot Noir grapes and Mesquite honey and aged it on Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans.

375 ml bottle from Mikkeller Webshop, bottle 1625 of 1825. Dark ruby body, without head. Aroma of dark honey, juicy red grapes, red berries, nuts, moderate vanilla. Tastes delicious, thick, with similar aromas, while juicier. Full, oily mouthfeel, with a carbonation. Finishes warm, sweet, juicy, a bit vinous, with berries, red grapes, dark honey, some nuts. Very tasty. Thick and juicy, with beautiful, diverse fruit notes. The vanilla isn't really noticeable, while the red grapes are beautifully showcased and lead to some vinous impression as it warms up. Lovely, decadent stuff. Score: 8 / 4 / 9 / 4 / 17
