4/2021 - an assortment of gorgeous flavors. chartreuse like in its complexity. Nothing at all like a vermouth. Dominated by orange and olive. Simply beautiful 92

Enjoy the best, the “King” of Vermouth. Aromas of raisins, figs, dates and almonds. The flavors are beautiful blend of cocoa, bitter orange marmalade and hints of exotic spices and vanilla. Rivals the best Madeira.

So good with a dash of angostura and sunshine in the evening

Very sweet but great for sipping on rocks. Plenty sweet at 2 part vermouth to 3 parts water

A bottle from some time in the 70s. Notes of raisins, coffee and chocolate. Bitterness and herbs really toned down.

Fascinated by all the RAVE reviews for this. I like it and it does what I need it to. Its balanced and drinkable neat but doesnt "wow" me. The main reason for getting it is it IS respectable AND comes in a 375ml btl. THAT is what I'm missing from too many vermouth brands. Here in the MCO, respectable vermouth is unicorn-like ESPECIALLY in 375ml. Theres nothing to hate on w Antica but I'm dying for Bordiga, Fred Jerbis, del Professore....
