Bottle from Wine Mill, Winchester VA: Honey nose, chemical overtones. Crystal clear pale golden, still. Tastes as it smells, fairly chemical. Light body, smooth. Didn't deliver on the hazelnuts which left me profoundly disappointed.

Honey nose with a barely perceptible floral character. Clear golden, still. Honey, fairly rich, with a honeycomb finish. Creamy, as far as meads go, not hot at all. Not overly sweet, good richness.
