Very nice - initial taste is full of dried dark fruit from the cognac and PX. The absinthe is delayed a bit before making it's entrance, and then it never dominates, but adds a pleasant bit of anise to complement the congnac and sherry. Not a boozy/hot cocktail. Lingering finish is led by the absinthe - very nice.

My first taste from the mixing glass suggested absinthe would dominate, but a good stir later proved not so. Rich and deeply fruity, the flavours balance each other well, tho still distinctly absinthe-y. Very nice digestif.

Perfect after-dinner cocktail. The absinthe is strong, but tempered by the cognac and sherry. Does need a long stir, but is an outstanding finale to a wonder meal.
