Review and Tasting


Sampled on 03/11/2019

Appearance:

Clear, crimson red.

Aroma:

Pleasant with hints of bitter orange, floral notes, tropical lush greenness, geraniums and expensive soap.

Taste:

Brilliantly balanced: rooty, red fruit, strawberry and raspberry flavours along with orange citrus and sweet lavender-like soapyness.

Aftertaste:

Bitter finish but not as bitter as Campari.

Overall:

Attractive berry fruit, orange citrus and sweet lavender-like floral notes. Select is fruitier than Campari and with a softer finish.
