A pleasant, fruit-forward young Cognac. The nose has floral fruit, vanilla, and oak. The palate begins with mild sweetness, a hint of warmth quickly appears and then fades into a well-balanced finish of fruit and oak spice that lasts. Quite good for the fairly low cost.

Reviews

Scents of crystallized orange, honeysuckle, raisin, and baking spices. A well-rounded texture. More crystallized orange and raisin on the palate, along with honeycomb, vanilla, apple blossom, and a subtle chamomile on the finish. The finish is quite sustained. 3.75/5.00 – Very Good (served neat)
Aroma of candy. A smooth and fruity taste with an extremely short, almost absent finish. Feels very rich and velvety. Fruit and mild oak are prominent at the start.
A standard from the Boinaud house. Notes of orange, vanilla, raisins, a touch of caramel, honey. Acceptable, but not particularly memorable.
Fruity, spicy, floral, with a strong alcoholic bite at the start of the aftertaste. However, it leaves a long and pleasant finish.
Very enjoyable!
