Pours clear, red amber. Scent is more mellow than the base, vanilla doesn't present itself very clearly, but it gives a more complex whole. still slightly herbal, strawberry and honey forward. Taste is full, sweet, strawberry, mildly acidic, mild vanilla factor providing greater complexity - builds up towards the aftertaste. very smooth experience. Quite enjoyable !

Pours dark ruby copper. Scent is intense, fruit forward. cherry and raspberry up front, honey back. Taste is full, sweet, intense, cherry, raspberry, still a very pronounced honey flavor. Higher fruit acidity. Lovely mead indeed, rather high acidity - which I enjoy for sure, but this seems a touch to high for balance, making it unique and enjoyabel, but I can imagine also less charming to bigger crowds.
