Initially hits with a familiar sweet-sour profile, then the richer fruit, floral aromatics and herbal notes come through, with just a hint of bitterness from the Suze. For me this was on the sweet side of balanced: I often have to go easy on the citrus juice (I think Australian citrus is picked very under ripe) but in this case needed the full complement.
Have tried this twice, once with Briottet Maraschino and once with Luxardo Maraschino. The latter punched through and made for a more satisfactory balance, spiritous and light. A fascinating combination of flavours overall!
