Lourens Family Wines, Howard John 2022 Salcombe Gin Classic juniper and coriander dominateSupple, rounded and elegant, but with lots of flavour. Sweet cherries, olives and pepper. Juicy and lively with a nice damson twist on the finish. The palate is pure and fresh with fine tannins and has a lovely energy about it. The finish, meanwhile, is long and gently savoury.
