Visual aspect: dark brown, oak bark colour; brilliant, dense hue. Nose: very rich with aromas of cigar box, Limousin oak, undergrowth, mint, blossom, a hint of mushroom. Beautiful typicity. Palate: moreish, fine, classy, distinguished; blossom, rose, liquorice, candied angelica, a balsamic side. Fine tannins, impressive ampleness, non-filtered. Gourmet pairings: woodcock on strings; calf's sweetbread deglazed with candied angelica served with chanterelles. Comments: the packaging is at the image of the age, respectful. A real, a grand Cognac.
