375ml bottle. Pours a deep dark hazed reddish colour, off-white head. Inviting aroma of oak, cider barn, berry mush. Flavour profile presents a good oak barrel cloak, medium bodied with myriad red berries, light tannic close with a wild almost gueuze like sour complexity. Interesting, decent.

First time I see a mead with a wooden top cork, was a bit of a surprise with the corkscrew. Drinks like a fun liquor, grape concentrate, warm tannic port notes. Never had either white port or vincotto original but this is nice. Perfect for winter.
