It's a little cool outside and I just had a wonderful dinner of stuffed Salmon and some roasted asparagus. Seems a perfect evening for a cognac. The nose is always the best part for me, the glass is a couple feet away and I can smell it. After clearing out my sinuses and gaining a tear in my eye the bouquet explodes, vanilla and caramel from the barrel and rich light fruits from the grape distillate. The mouth feel is quite nice but swirling in the glass give no tears. It leads with the barrel flavors on the palate but evolves to white grapes then lemon and finally pears. This is a classy Cognac but Remy is still my preference.

This is bottled at 40% ABV.

Appears a bit harsh on a daily basis in a busy city, but shines fresh and gentle and nice on a cool weekend evening when surrounded by nature.
Basically the same blend as Fussigny's XO, with a younger age. Overall, a very nice spirit for the price
Decent. Just not as much of a cognac guy.
