Irresistible blackcurrant jubes leap out of the glass and then the more nuanced fragrances of red roses, exotic sandalwood, dark chocolate and star anise. There is a big mouthful of black berries and dark cherries, suggestions of Black Forest cake, hints of menthol and a lingering finish carried by fine tannins of espresso coffee, cloves and cinnamon.
