Jammy grapes, not wine like but sweet and maybe what I like to imagine Greek mead was like but it was probably terrible. Deliciously mild decadence with slight oak finish

Pours deep dark red. Scent is more herbal, less fruit-forward (less wine like) than B20. more honey up front. Taste is full, sweet, honey ( stronger honey than 20). Milder red grape aroma, but still very present. very mild tanins. More honey-oriented, less grape forward than B20 (which i tend to prefer) . i also miss the light chocolate hint that 20 had, probably due to being aged on white series barrels.

750 ml swingtop. My bottle says Batch 21, and it's made with Cabernet grapes, so I assume this is the right entry. 13% ABV. Aroma is red wine grapes and honey, as expected. Taste is sweet and savory with honey and grape flavors. Delicious.
