750ml bottle from HOTM. 2022 Vintage. Clear yellow colour, some short-lived bubbles on top and aroma of grape & honey. Taste is sweet, white grapey, floral, with some honey notes and drying citric acidity. Medium bodied, low carbonation, drying & lingering sweet finish. Quite drinkable.

Corked bottle at Canoe Restaurant, Toronto, Grand Reserve Ambrosia
Vintage 2006, tasted at cellar temperature
Blond color, on the light side. Intriguing aroma, with notes of fig leaves, and wood aged Chardonnay, a touch of vanilla. Sweet, not syrupy, with good mead flavor, some wild forest honey, some fresh wood (ash). The final is round and deep. Very good, reminding me the "Iqhilika Cape Fig", but more delicate and maybe more elegant.

Bottle at Stock Restaurant, Toronto, vintage 2008, 12.5% ABV
Pale yellow color. I just had the Grand Reserve Ambrosia an this one seems more vulgar; aroma: some honey, flowers, fresh wood (ash). Semi-sweet and lean mouthfeel, with some flavor of fresh wood. Not unpleasant, but rather simple.
