Review and Tasting

Sampled on 01/05/2011

Appearance

Crystal clear.

Aroma

A nose reminiscent of dark coloured boiled sweet with vanilla and violet aromas.

Taste

A palate which British readers may liken to vodka and diluted Ribena.

Aftertaste

The blackcurrant fruit gives way to grainy black pepper spirit notes which continue into the more subtly fruit flavoured finish.
