Young and fruity---and excellent! Pours a reddish amber in the glass. Nose of fruit, oak and honey. Tasted quickly the dram seems a little hot. Allowed to breathe the dram is soft in the mouth, honeyed fruitiness and a little oak spice rolls about the tongue. The finish is moderate and rich in flavor. This reminds me very much of the Pierre Ferrand Ambre 10. This is not quite as excellent as the Pierre; but is 7 years younger and is only $20 in my area. I would call that a bargain for this style of cognac. (There are nearly as many styles of cognac as there are Scotchs. In fact I once had an Armagnac that could have passed for a Scotch.)
