Touches of rose, jasmine, clove pink, combined with the upfront flavours of peach and plum. The old maturation of this Cognac has imparted aromas of vanilla. Palate entry is dry, mid palate displays more fleshiness but it’s the dominating presence of oaky resin that lasts on and singes the tongue. Aftertaste is long, mineral dry and resiny.
This 15 year old bottling has become the producers best-seller, as pleasing to the novice as it is to the connoisseur. Comes in a presentation box.
