Nose
Orange and gin rise over a soft vermouth base.
Palate
This is a very useful branch point because it preserves the improved Martini idea before later Martini history narrows toward austere dryness alone.
Finish
The finish is cool, gently fruity, and botanical.
Summary
An improved Martini from the dressed gin aperitif branch.
