Bottled the blackcurrant port and the marmalade bochet (Seville oranges, off-dry) this weekend. Both are excellent, the port is very full and rich, the bochet is just off-dry enough to have the caramel and orange come through strongly.

Bochet bottled in 330ml with red crown caps, the blackcurrant in 330ml with silver crown caps.

Also tasted a bunch of stuff: the solstice mead, which is buttery and ready to spice; and the light marmalade mead, which I'm going to carbonate, the bitterness is out of it and it's ethereal, light, and sunshiney. I'll be tasting a couple others in the next days and doing some racking.
