SinH4 (13263) - Garching bei München, Bavaria, GERMANY - MAY 8, 2018Bottle, many thanks Nische! Beautiful almost ruby color with no head. Aroma is super flowery honey, forest floor, Polish Półtorak oxidation, I hardly get any of the fruits, they are so well incorporated. General berry and blackcurrant flavours, yes, also some freshness of the gooseberries (which I loved to eat as a child, we had them in our garden). Taste has more of the gooseberries, berries, perfectly mixed with the honey flavours and oxidation. Viscous oily mouthfeel, superbly drinkable. Beautiful; this is super-amazing because it retains the classic honey character and blends the fruit flavours in there perfectly.

Nische (3994) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JAN 27, 2018Bottle at home. Deep reddish purple, pretty viscous. Sweet honey, black currant, some sweet cherries. Don't get so much out of the gooseberries. Full bodied and well balanced but lacks a bit of fruit intensity to be really spectacular.
