Old gold color. Aromas and flavors of dried italian herbs, pickling spices in honey syrup, almond paste, and dried tangerine and apricot with a glycerous, dryish medium-full body and a warming, intricate, very long finish with accents of honey soaked orange peel on almond toast, quinine and grapefruit, scorched gentian root, and pine sap. A lovely bitter digestif on its own, this Vermouth would make a savory and nutty addition to a Martini or Vesper.
