A feast for the senses here but the quibble is the sweetness in flavour profile, jolly and jubey, pastilles at the fore. That being said, perfume is seductive, floral and cherry-berry fresh with sniffs of green herb. Flavours have that sweetness, faint mintiness, soft and confected elements with a late visit from tannin, though a very nice overlay of spice. It has a come-hither feel but misses some poise and class. Great drinking despite this.
