First tasted, 12-26-18 - New Review 12-26-22 - Bought from Ulrich Hoss
Appearance - beautiful emerald hue, no visible sediment
Louche - Deep swirls of color. Bright and opalescent with greens, whites, and yellows
Aroma - mainly anise melding well with wormwood. Simple and very enticing.
Flavor - Punchy with a surprising amount of bitterness that seems to have increased a bit as it's ages. Quite herbal and complex but a bit unbalanced.
Finish - Pontica comes out and adds bitterness. Slight drying on the tongue.
Overall - it's OK now, but I'd like the bitterness to be toned down a bit and the anise to come through more. Definitely one to experiment with water ratios and sugar.
