Bottle pour. Pours clear blonde. Lots of boozy honey on the nose. Flavour has a very thin profile with strained honey and old flowers. Not very good, very weak profile for a mead.

Vintage 2001. Bottle, pours a clear blonde. Aroma brings out light wildflower notes, light booze, and some fermented out honey. Flavour is tart and dry, with fermented out honey, some wildflower honey, and booze. Is this too old – and therefore dry and sour – or was this never great?

Sample at McBerko's place, shared with him and the crew. Clear golden with no head. Some honey, quite thin and watery. Bit dry and tart.

Leftover pour from the fiulijnator cellar (vintage 2001 - thanks fiulijn - side by side with Idromele Ambra). Clear pale blonde with no head. Floral honey, short linger, a touch watery on the taste. Prefer this over the Ambra.

2001, courtesy of fiulijn. Cloudy gold. Aroma is honeyed walnuts, barrel and alcohol. Body is sweet-tart, so it is fairly lively but misses the richness of a younger mead. Subtle floral notes.

Corked bottle, from the producer; vintage 2001, 12 years old
The bottle has a small deposit; it pours a hazy yellow color. Tasted side to side with the Ambra, this one is similar but more delicate, with less oxidisation, less honey, less alcohol.
Not complicated.
