Finished the bottle. Aroma: Fragrant with vanilla, baking spices, raisins, and other dried red fruits. Becomes floral and perfumed towards the end of the pour. Taste: Rich, tannic, yet somewhat sweet, with notes of dark fruits, raisins, brown sugar, vanilla, baking spices, barrel spices, and licorice. Finish: It's spicy and lingers with sweet oak, raisins, licorice, and baking spices.
Vanilla, raisins, and prunes on the nose, with a smooth, velvety, oaky, and spicy palate featuring sweet fruit and vanilla. The finish is long and spicy.
Excellent brandy, with strong wood notes, oak, pine, and then a slightly sweet caramel finish.
Very enjoyable. If you see it, buy it. I'm not the most experienced with cognac, but I can say I genuinely like this.
A friend really enjoys this spirit. Very complex initially, smooth yet potent, finishing simply.
Wonderful cognac!
