Appearance

Clear, bright crimson red.

Aroma

Aged blood orange peel, orange sherbet, ruby red grapefruit zest, quinine, bayleaf, cherry, lemon thyme and herbal woodyness. Heady peppery spirit tingle.

Taste

Herbaceous quinine bitterness balanced with syrupy sweetness flavoured with blood orange zest, mint, cherry and honey.

Aftertaste

Long lingering quinine, zesty orange and orange pith bitterness. Fades with quinine, orange zest and clove.

Overall

Bittersweet with syrupy sweetness offset by bitter quinine, zesty orange, orange sherbet, orange pith bitterness and tart grapefruit. Those may not sound like deliciously appealing tasting notes, but in it's own bitter and orange twisted way Campari is delicious - certainly for those of us who have acquired a taste for it.
