Nice flavors, but still a tad too sweet at these ratios. Bitters improve it admirably.

Dan commented on 1/17/2015:

That's the problem with many vintage cocktails -- they are simply formulated too sweet for today. The quality of our spirits doesn't require as much sugar may be one factor. I would think you could easily dial the cherry back to 1/2. It might let the cognac through a bit more. I need to try this.

1 1/2 Cognac VSOP
1/2 oz Luxardo Cherry Sangue Morlacco
1 oz Martini Extra Dry
Not bad, Cognac is on front.
