Glad you enjoy your mead but it is still young. If you put it back until it
is 18 months old I will bet you will be astounded. And it will probably be
even better at 2 years. Mead ages very gracefully and slowly. With mead,
more so than with most wine, the trick is to make enough to age it properly.
