      Appearance: Pale translucent amber-gold. Aroma: Orange petals and peel, wildflowers, honeycomb, fresh aromatic herbs and flowers (lavender, lemon thyme, jasmine, honeysuckle). Flavour and Texture: Citrus (lemon and orange) with honey, red cherries, vanilla pods, a hint of peppermint and a little liquorice. That's just the arrival. It expands into spicy notes (clove, saffron, sweet cinnamon, mild chilli), root extracts and more honey with a warming and comforting texture. The mouth-feel is heavy and syrupy but not cloying and it rolls off from the sweet notes into a demi-sec and slightly bitter finish, with notes of chincona, gentian and wormwood. There's an elusive note of lavender and violets as well. A wonderfully complete and balanced amaro. Quite sweet and mildly hot with a familial resemblance to Montenegro, but this is lighter, a tad sweeter and once you get to understand it, far more floral in character. You could substitute this for Montenegro in any cocktail in which it has become your "secret weapon" and it would up the ante and leave them guessing all over again. It's a brilliant amaro and like other reviewers here I'm amazed that this does not have a higher profile. "Excellent": 4.5 stars. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE - 16 June 2021 Last night I finished this bottle of amaro that I had opened in October last year. Initially it had a crisp, light character but after being open for just a few weeks it became quite heavy and syrupy, and the orange zest note dominated both the nose and palate. If consumed within a couple of months after opening I'd still call this a 5 star amaro, but if left for longer than that, particularly once the level is lowered, it diminishes to 4 stars. I’m compromising with a new overall rating of 4.5

      Lightly sweet on the front, then glides into a bitter similar to Montenegro, but with the added heat of Calabrian chili peppers.

      About a dozen different aromas and flavors -- all subtle, all winning. It's perplexing why this isn't more popular.

      Citrus, Peppermint, Cherry, and Baking Spices. Light color and medium viscosity, definitely enjoy over ice or chilled. Complex but approachable, this digestif can easily be imbibed as an aperitif, pretty excited to try this in a some cocktails... first up Negroni!
