2023 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

La Quintinye Vermouth Royal Rouge (France), 16.5% abv, $22.89, 750 ml

95
Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Dark, yet fresh nose, with aromas of cola nut, strawberry compote, gentian flower, and spice box. At first sweet on the palate, before an invigorating acidity adds balance, with black cherry, salted almond, and lingonberry coalesce on a long, bitter finish.
