Really dry! I think I should increase the Creme de Cassis slightly next time.

Remade following the exact specs. My rather ancient back of the cupboard bottle of cassis seemed potable... Really brought out the honeyed richness of the cognac. Rich and fruity.

Does “perfect” in the title refer to the split vermouths, or something else altogether!

Yes, "Perfect" refers to the split vermouths.

Following Morton’s suggestion tried with Rosso antico and crème de mûre. Fruity and delicious!

Try with Creme de Mûre instead of Creme de Cassis. And an easy drinking, sweet slightly bitter, red vermouth (e.g.Fot-Li Vermut Rojo). It is excellent!

Slightly pushing the sweet spectrum. A very dark-fruit tasting cocktail. Quite nice and as stated, "boozy".

Godet V.S., Alessio Vermouth Chinato, La Quintinye dry, Mathilde Cassis... I would second those plum/prune flavors. The blend of vermouth brands lends a likely more bitter mid-palate than intended?... Overall lovely. Would definitely make again (7 May 2022, 1:54p)

Very nice and interesting drink, with "plummy" flavors and a bit stronger than anticipated.
