Superb. Made with Punt e Mes. I added 1/2 oz dry vermouth to re-balance the sugar.

Very good, similar to a traditional Liberal cocktail, but with a slightly darker/more bitter backbone. Made with spec'ed ingredients except for using Rittenhouse 100 Rye. The Bigallet/Cocchi di Torino/Bonal trio creates a good flavor balance of dark cacao, semi-bitter orange, along with red grape/wine. With the rye there is some pepper/heat up front that ably counters the initial sweetness. Rich clear brown/amber hue.
