Dark red in colour with garnet hues, it opens with aromas that are true to freshly crushed blackcurrants, backed up by hints of red berries, gentle spice and a subtle leafy note. On the palate, this Double Crème de Cassis is smooth and full-bodied, with layers of ripe cassis and vibrant acidity that builds towards a long, powerful finish. A slight, pleasing bitterness from the blackcurrant seeds adds structure and keeps the sweetness beautifully balanced. This is a classic French crème de fruits with serious concentration and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrizzled over vanilla or nougat ice cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpooned onto lemon or berry sorbet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixed with Champagne or Crémant for a classic Kir Royale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This is blackcurrant turned up to eleven.
