Nice take, yet it seems that the tarty deep black fruit cherry flavours don’t complement well the bitterness and herbal flavours of the juniper, wormwood (vermouth), Noyau and Campari in my opinion.
I would pair the cherry components with Cognac, Armagnac and other grape spirits.
Yet, it is nicely juicy, very juicy and interesting.
