Visual aspect: old gold, dark hue. Nose: first nose on vegetal aromas (angelica), mentholated freshness, minerality. Second nose on scents of citrus fruit, oranges. Beautiful intensity. Palate: supple, round, elegant first taste; then a certain powerfulness followed by gourmet aromas of pineapple. Saltiness in the mid-palate. Unctuous final taste. Gourmet pairings: red mullets with tapenade. Comments: a smooth and very open Cognac with hints of freshness. A valuable XO.
