Corked bottle from Gardian des Elfes, Yverdon, Switzerland
Cuvée VCD 090324
Measured Final Gravity: 1020

Hazy yellow color, with an old hue. Mild honey and Mead aroma, with some comforting alcohol. Sweet flavor without being syrupy, as promised; some woody trace and mild tannins in the end; less complex than the drier Meads from this Cave, but very pleasant.

Synthetic cork bottle from Chemins de Bretagne, Paris
Dragon Cuvee Dr071214
Measured Final Gravity: 1019

Golden color. Deep aroma of honey, but also fruity, with seducing alcohol, and minimal woody notes. The mouthfeel is semi-sweet, with honey flavor, light oxidization, a hidden fruity vein; the final carries a mild astringency from the tannins. Very good.
