It's intriguing that different reviews find different flavours to the fore. I agree with John Hinojos that the sherry & vermouth are more pronounced (used Martini Extra Dry). I added an extra 5ml elderflower for sweetness and to accentuate that flavour aspect. A great aperitif for those who can't decide between a plain sherry or dry vermouth and desire the best of both worlds plus elderflower & subtle lavender.
