This is firm and smoky, with a good backbone, toasty American oak and piercing cassis fruit. |
Gorgeous aromas of spring flowers, espresso roast, blackberries, cassis, and cedar are reminiscent of a Pauillac on steroids. |
We lived on no sleep, cigarettes and sugar, with an occasional dash of sirop de cassis in our champagne for vitamins. |
Liqueurs commonly made this way include triple sec, cassis, Cointreau, Grand Mariner and so forth. |
The nose offers up blazingly well-delineated, pure aromas of creme de cassis, cherry jam, minerals, and toasty new oak. |
The wash is a complex grippy array of dark currant, cool cherry, cassis and bitter chocolate. |
