SAND Likes this wine: 85 points
April 12, 2024 - NOSE: Intense summer honey and flower honey notes, with lots of sweet pollen. (86p)
TASTE: The arrival is just lightly honied and quite fresh. On the mid palate more honey taste and a medium high level of refreshing acidity. The latter makes the tasting experience almost completely dry, not unlike the way a hich acdity "halbtrocken" German Riesling can feel almost dry despite quite å bit of resdiual sugar. The body is medium light with a slight weakness in the middle of the taste curve. The whole drinking experience is refreshing. (85p)
EXIT: In the aftertaste there is almost a pure honey taste but the lingering acidity makes this too an off-dry experience rather than a sweeter one. Eventually the acidity lingers the longer, cleaning up everything else. (83p)
OVERALL: Not bad for a 4.5 year old lighter style mead. Should go very well with light food. TOTAL SCORE 85 points.
