20yo Relatively complex nose, notes of pear and tobacco. Quite dry body, flavors of grape with lovely tannins, a nice medium-long finish.

Nose: Grape, caramel, plum, cardboard, chocolate, lemon. Palate: Smooth and slightly sweet, with notes of oak, char, and grape.
Wendell Nieves
2.3
Nose: Locked up, musty, smoky grape aroma, like a hazy sunset fading without the glow. Taste: Bitter, is this even cognac? Finish: A quick burst of grape, smoky overall.
