Blackcurrant FLAVRZ
PG 100%
Flavor Notes
**Blackcurrant (FLAVRZ) 5% / 7.5% (4-9-23)** -- I could tell this one was different than all of the other Blackcurrants I'd tested to date, and in an interesting way. This presented as a very complex darker berry-ish flavor, with multiple berries, and a nice, slightly boozy grape undertone. When I say berry-ish, it's for lack of better words, as it did have the very expected tart finish which screamed currant". It ranged from modest darker notes, followed up by a very generous helping of mid notes, and some modest bright, and tarty notes on the finish. It centered around the mid notes, but had just enough of the low and highs to help it into complex-if-ication. After two full testers, it still wandered around with sometimes more berries, other times, more of the grape, but it was always finished by the tartness. At 5% it was good, but (repeating), felt like it needed a little push, and 7.5% did just that. It was about 2 ticks above mid level sweet, but the tart finish kept that in check, and there were not off-notes, OR florals to be found. After struggling to try and figure out what made it so unique, I had to settle on the mid-level notes, which were higher in the mix, and kept it fully centered. A very good darker berry-ish medley with grape-y undertones, and a nice tart finish that kept it squarely in the "currant" camp. VERY hard to nit-pick this one, and leaving it at **9.5/10.**
