Finished almost a bottle at once by 2 person only. Nice smell of orange, oak, cocoa, coffee, leather and violet. Medium to full body, sweet aromas and smooth in mouth, with notes of leather, oak, wood, orange, plum, vanilla, violet, a hint of pepper, and spice in background. Easy to sip while has spice from time to time, with medium to long aftertaste, with dark chocolate and cocoa finish. Not over in any area but it's overall delicious. Nice one to enjoy all night!

This Cognac XO is high level indeed. Amber color, complex aromas, dried fruits, integrated oak, bodied, elegant, rich evolved, long finish.
[Whiskey Live Paris 2015] Sadly I had sampled this after I was already 20 plus tastings in. I would love to give this another go!
Hell yes pass the Courvoisier. The XO is much smoother IMO. A good sipping drink or you can shoot it and get tore up quick.
Conhaque muito perfumado, saboroso e ao mesmo tempo suave. Se encontrá-lo por um bom preço, definitivamente vale a compra!
Deep flavor but not a long nose. Strong scents of maple and amber. Smoke with a hint of sweet
