Quite floral with just the right amount of dryness. Used tio Pepe fino sherry, celery notes of which are still shining through brightly. I found the orange notes pairing exceptionally well with the grape juiciness that the wines provided.

Nice! The triple sec and orange bitters really freshen the sherry/vermouth combo and add a subtle sweetness and florality.
