Superstition - Endovelicus

Superstition Meadery's Endovelicus is a rich melomel with red raspberries and clocks in a 13% ABV.  The color on this mead is a rich, nearly opaque merlot color.  The aroma is of tart, sweet raspberries.  The mouthfeel is a rich and coats your mouth with a sweet stickiness that quickly morphs into a tannic, slightly tart puckering.  Finally the taste follows the nose and mouthfeel; it's all rich rich tart red raspberries with a lovely balance of tart, tannic, and sweet.  The finish was really clean and lovely.  This is an exceptional example of a raspberry melomel that finds a very nice balance between the sweet and the tart.
