This is lovely. We really like the earthy and vegetal aromas of the Pineau.

45ml Pineau is more than just a splash - it really balanced my (thuggish) 101.
The lemon really augments the grape taste too.
This isn't a life changing cocktail like the Negroni, it's just really nice.
Pineau is somewhat under-known - I've had a lovely summer afternoon with it.
