UPDATED: MAY 14, 2007 (Ceramic bottle 75 cl) Clear, very dark amber. Dark, vinous notes - not unlike port. Distinct sweetness, but the honey notes are not as strong as in other meads. Extremely complex and refined flavour pattern with impressions of dried or even overripe fruit. Lovely warming alcohol. 170605

Ungstrup (23961) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JUL 13, 2004
The aroma is very sweet with strong notes of flowers, but also alcohol and honey. The color is orange and it has no head. The flavor is quite sweet, but not too much, and it has strong notes of honey but also flowers noticably elderberryflowers. The alcohol runs warming and tickling over the tongue.

jkaram1 (1) - USA - JUL 10, 2003 does not count
Moderately sweet for a mead, with a very pleasant aroma and flavor of raisins or prunes. Mild alcohol, so there's a bit of a burn going down. Light texture on the tongue.
