Just cracked open the last surviving bottle of a mead I made 15 years ago.
Overall, it's still good. Definite sherry overtones, and it's better days are certainly behind it, but it still has substantial honey aroma and flavor. Very smooth, with some alcoholic warmth to it. It's darkened into a deep golden color and it's crystal clear.
Actually, I'm pretty impressed that it tastes this good after 15 years.
I made a new mead tonight-- orange honey blossom-- so it's in with the new, out with the old!
