Tasting Notes
"As soon as you pour this richly colored liqueur into a glass, its name proves entirely appropriate. Its aroma is slightly medicinal, but juicy cherries prevail. Its coats the mouth with creaminess and flavors of sour cherry pie. It needs nothing but a piece of salted dark chocolate to keep it company. "
