Nice moderated sweetness as I've found in all R&M fruit liqueurs, which is a big pro. Can always add sugar to a cocktail through other means, hard to take it away. Mild nose, also common. First instinct is to say the pear taste is tragically mild, but must remind myself that applies to pears in general, so perhaps an accurate expression. Quite nice, actually, but for nuanced cocktails only. Will easily get lost in anything too bold. As always, props for use of the actual fruit eau de vie.
