Review and Tasting

Sampled on 10/06/2015

Appearance:

Clear, deep ruby red.

Aroma:

Black pepper, strawberries/raspberries and redcurrant with wormwood and herbal aromas. Faint sandlewood.

Taste:

Very fruity with red berry cassis-like flavours, dry wormwood, black pepper spice, and very faint woody tannins balanced by mild sweetness and fruity red berries. Faint quinine.

Aftertaste:

Long, cleansing and refreshing herbal finish with cracked black pepper, lingering wormwood. Some berry fruit but subdued compared to palate.

Overall:

Full-bodied, rich, bittersweet and very fruity with woody and herbal complexity.
