Yellow straw color. Aromas of peanut brittle, over ripe and sweetened flowers, saffron rice, and buttered popcorn with a medium body and a medium orange halls cough drops, wool, popcorn, and dried apricot finish. A mead with orange notes that would pair well with chocolate fondue for an afternoon of apres-ski.
