Marlobobo

This exquisite Melomel showcases the deep, vinous character of the Stevnsbær cherry, artfully blended from multiple vintages. The 2022 threads provide smooth, concentrated notes of dried fruit and leather, while the 2023 component introduces a vibrant, fresh acidity that pierces through the rich base. Complex Norwegian wildflower honey contributes layers ranging from light floral sweetness to darker, malty depths. Conditioning on oak staves imparts structure and delicate vanilla nuances, rounding out a profile that balances intense fruit saturation with elegant wood tannins. The result is a profoundly layered, opulent expression of a single-variety fruit mead.

Appearance. Deep garnet to dark ruby color with brilliant clarity. Still, with no head or carbonation. High viscosity is apparent through slow-moving legs on the glass.

Aroma. Intense and multifaceted; dominated by concentrated black cherry and plum. The Norwegian wildflower honey provides a background of floral nectar and darker, slightly toasted sugar. Subtle vanilla and toasted oak emerge alongside light oxidation notes of raisins and dried figs from the older vintages.

Taste. Initial burst of tart Stevnsbær cherry skin and juicy pulp, immediately followed by rich, velvety honey sweetness. The mid-palate reveals complex layers of vanilla and wood-derived tannins. High acidity provides a crisp counterpoint to the residual sugar. The finish is long and lingering, featuring persistent fruit and a clean, honeyed aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous, coating the tongue. No carbonation (still). Significant alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated. Slight tannic grip from the oak staves adds structure without harshness.
