Review and Tasting

Sampled on 09/07/2012

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Parma violet, old lady’s talcum powder, sherbet and fresh red fruits, but no evident lychee.

Taste:

Tinned lychee sweetness balanced by citric acidity, with hints of stewed red berry, green melon and grape soda.

Aftertaste:

Strong, authentic (fresh) lychee flavours emerge in the finish, with lingering citric acidity and perfume.
