As an aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano is the closest thing you will get to the original Kina Lillet. Lillet blanc, the one that you find nowadays, is a different recipe from the classic, which means for any drink from back in the day that called for Kina Lillet, Cocchi Americano Bianco is your best bet. On it's own, it's actually pretty tasty and has a nice bite to it, which Lillet Blanc is missing. The nose is a bit tame, with pear and elderflower. The palate has that slight bitterness, along with some sweetness and citrus notes. The finish isn't that long, with no heat and a bit of pine. I wouldn't say this blew me away neat, but it makes for a fine aperitif over ice with a lemon peel. I probably would score this a bit lower, but it's very useful in cocktails and can replace dry vermouth or a white vermouth in any cocktail recipe. The fact that you can get it for under $20 also makes it a solid value.
