San Pellegrino Essenza - Dark Morello Cherry & Pomegranate

taste profile: really, really subtle. they were not lying about the “essenza” bit. dark cherry and pomegranate, definitely, yet it is heavily watered down. slightly saline aftertaste. the cherry hits first and lasts throughout the sip. the pomegranate kicks in afterwards, very subtly. all this dissolves in the saline aftertaste, ever so slightly tinted by the cherry.

rating: 7/10. a nice product overall, but the faintness of the taste does not align it with my preferences. a sour taste profile would lend itself much better to what this is trying to achieve (i.e. a refreshing summer drink).
