Very savoury and subtle. Numerous delicate waves of flavours progressively over the palate. Would be brilliant as an aperitif. We had already opened the bottle of fino, drunk straight to accompany our antipasto and cheeseboard, but this was a wonderful palate cleanser too.

One of the better stirred drinks I've had in a short while. Good excuse to use up some of my amontillado. There's a fresh, earthy, aqueous(?) note in the aftertaste, like a spring/stream or at its most extreme a swimming pool. Like being immersed physically or just sensually in water. Don't know if that makes sense. Fruity, but short of saccharine. Used Cocchi Americano and PF Dry Curacao. I've kind of been waiting for something like this. Fine work gentlemen.
