Tasting neat, cold out of the frig.
Color is a deep yellow, but slightly milky, with strong coating legs in the glass. Nose is floral--lemon, vanilla, and sweet. In the mouth, sugar syrup sweet, but with a clear vanilla lemonade flavor. Soft, floral, with just a hint of bitter lemon peel. Mouthfeel is soft, coating, and with little if any ethanol warmth. Finish is short and sweet, but the lemon thru-note holds up and lingers on the tongue, like vanilla and lemon hard candy. Pleasant.
I was hoping this would have a clearer, stronger citrus flavor, like Luxardo (my favorite), but it's in line with the more sweet-than-acidic/bitter profile of most Italian limoncellos. Better than most (maybe #2 or 3 on my favorite list), and lower in alcohol content (which is too bad). A very servicable soft after dinner digestif.
