Review and Tasting
Sampled on 18/04/2014
Appearance:
Clear, deep (almost opaque) maroon red.
Aroma:
Very pungent concentrated blackcurrant juice.
Taste:
Intense blackcurrant with some blackcurrant jam. Syrupy mouthfeel with balanced tartness and sugar sweetness but thinner than other higher alcohol strength Lejay cassis.
Aftertaste:
Dry fruit, with long lingering blackcurrant fruit.
