A great cognac with a great intensity and complexity: soft and strong, well-balanced aroma of vanilla, honey, black, hot chocolate, candied fruit, mango, orange, apricot. It is a powerful cognac with a rich flavor - a perfect gift for those who appreciate the strength, courage, and delicious taste!
Notes of peaches, nuts, maple syrup, cinnamon, rancio, rich oak and black tea. To be enjoyed neat after dinner with a good square of dark chocolate.

The opening whiffs pick up luscious aromas of nutmeg, cinnamon and white raisins; further aeration introduces traces of hard cheese, oak/vanillin, dried fruit, black pepper and almond paste. At palate entry the early-on taste includes nuts and butter cream; the viscous texture and nut butter/oaky/maple-like flavor is highlighted at midpalate. Finishes regally without any alcohol heat and plenty of lip-smacking sautéed almond. In a word, scrumptious. - P.P.
