Shop Review: Its aroma is wide and complex: spicy, with green pepper notes, cinnamon and vanilla, pleasant and characteristic; at the same time it is also fruity, with cherry, blackberry, strawberry and red fruits jam in general notes. In mouth it reveals its full-bodied taste, with the right amount of acidity, and with a persistent and pleasant finish.

My Review: There is an immediate "alcohol" aroma to it. Though as you smell it, you can sense a fruity underlayer. The taste is mostly fruity, but there is a woody aftertaste. I found that the woody aftertaste does not leave a pleasant finish that many others had.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
