Pours a darker garnetpurple. Scent is a bit more towards cherry, than it is towards raspberry. Doesn't hold the same intensity as 'Bee In Love', but is at least mroe natural than their blackcurrent melomel. Still quite pure, as it overpowers the honey - it's just less loud I supose. Taste is quite full, smooth, thick body. Cherry up front - raspberry gives a complexity in the backbone, and a tad more sharp acidity to the mead than cherry could. honey is overdominated. A nice melomel, but my favorite remains the Bee In Love. Though the mead is sweet, it ends a tad drying (by the fruity acids)
