Interesting and flavorful. While the ingredients in some cocktails blend together, some contrast, and some others are disjointed, this one is like a slideshow presentation for the palate. The flavors of the components come through in rapid serial fashion: apple brandy at the sip followed by some mildly herbal sweetness from the Benedictine, then the dry wine and wormwood of the Noilly Prat, followed by the characteristic grapefruit peel type bitterness of the Campari that carries through the finish.
