SCHRAMMS HEART OF DARKNESS BATCH 1 2013

Description

Please note: This bottle is one of the gems in my cellar that I never had any intention on selling. I decided that, as long as it is sitting in my cellar unopened, I would offer it for sale only at a price that I would be willing to sell it at. I've received a few messages asking if I would sell it for less but I would rather drink it than let it go for less than what I am asking.

Batch 1 of Schramm's' legendary The Heart Of Darkness. This has been carefully stored in my cellar since it was released. Item description from Schramm's: The Heart of Darkness is our capstone mead, made from hand-harvested estate fruit grown by the Schramm’s. The cherries are of the Schaarbeek variety, an intensely flavorful, European Morello type. The raspberries are Heritage and Latham, grown in Michigan by the Schramm family for three generations, and the black currants are Crandall and Consort. Production is extremely limited, as the amount of care and labor which go into each batch is substantial. This mead is the finest representation of our core commitments to fidelity and quality of ingredients. It pours a deep purple in color, has a dense fruitiness and a mid-palate with considerable tartness and a lingering, balanced finish. Your empty glass will be redolent of the honey component. The Heart of Darkness pairs well with spicy, grilled red meats, high quality dark chocolate, and blue cheeses.
