Nose Perfumed Morello cherries and mixed spices, particularly ground mace. Light lavender and quince. Inviting and intensely aromatic.
Palate Bright, juicy fruit up front, before becoming oily with notes of olives in brine, sweet cherry tomatoes and plum wine. A hint of peach develops, alongside notes of white wine and parsley.
Finish Hints of Black Jack sweets on the finish, with notes of Oude Genever and saffron.
Overall A curious and complex cocktail - certainly a very fine alternative to the classic Negroni.
