The aroma has notes of oak, grapes, and a bit of smoke. The taste includes oak, some spirit presence, and a very subtle vanilla-like finish. It's good, but the spirit flavor is too prominent. It improves after resting for 15 minutes, with less alcohol and more vanilla. Acceptable+

Smooth and complex with a fruity taste. A very good option considering the price.
Considering the cost, no other cognac I've tried compares.
Very nutty, dry, and smooth. It has a pleasant finish.
