Bottle kill. Nose: Aromatic with vanilla, baking spices, raisins and other dried red fruits. Turns floral and perfumed near the end of the pour. Palate: Rich, tannic and yet somewhat sweet, with notes of dark fruits, rasins, brown sugar, vanilla, baking spices, barrel spices and licorice. Finish: It’s spicy and lingers with sweet oak, raisins, licorice, and baking spices.
Vanilla, oak, raisins and prunes on the nose, smooth, velvety, oaky, spicy, sweet fruit and vanilla on the palate, long spicy finish
Great brandy, very strong wood notes, oak, pine, and then finishes a little sweet like caramel on the finish.
Very tasty. If you find it get it. I am not the best with cognac, but I can say I quite enjoy this.
My friend Eric loves this stuff. Very complex up front, smooth yet punchy, yet simple at the end.
Lovely cognac!
