9.2/10
Plummy honey sweetness up front. In the mouth more honeydew melon, lingering. A bit tight at the finish.
Revisited after an hour and it’s a stunner. The gin barrel is really present x with lovely juniper and herbal botanicals balancing, nice acidity

Bottle, 2024 vintage. A full-bodied, sweet and lightly warming blend of cherry, honey and acidity. Raisin, hints of marzipan (almond) and lemon. Delicous. 848417 250825

Panda from danlo, thanks Ed! Pours deep dark red with no head. Aroma: sugar, berry, honey, spiced hints. Taste: heavy sweet, honey, red berries, vanilla, very mild tartness, spices. Syrupy mouthfeel, full body, low carbonation.

2021 vintage bottle
maghony dark nutty brown, few bubbles head
mead and a lot of fruity stuff going on, pears and apples, but not straight pear and apple, more like baked or from a cake. also reminds me of port wine cellar in portugal, in the young port part of the cellar. almost perfumey. enchanting..
flavor is honey and tons of fruit, but honey still dominated, huge complexity with chocolate, tobacco, wood , caramel like notes. ends slightly fruity-sour but still with a solid meady base. never thin never watery. solid super complex mead.
