Combining the East Block 200 gin, L’Opera bitter orange, and Rubis Vermouth, this blend ‘The Count’ pays tribute to the classic Negroni.
Featuring all organic botanicals, the Count is a luscious and spicy assemblage of aromatic gin, fragrant Seville and Navel oranges, dark fruits, dried herbs and warm spice. The palate is smooth and round with a pleasant, lingering bitterness.
Sophisticated, yet simple, The Count is ready to serve. Pour cold over a single large ice cube and garnish with an orange twist.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
