Flavour Analysis

Blackcurrant’s first impression is clear tart green fruit, but violet, pine and musk soon reveal the profile beneath. A sour apple note brings crisp tartness, with a persimmon note setting a mouth-drying sensation alongside it, and lemon and assam tea notes give the profile a rounded, lingering character.
