Visual aspect: clear brown, translucent and gleaming hue. Nose: first nose on mild spices, aromas of cigar box; second nose on slightly smoked woody notes; expressive nose, pastry scents. Palate: quite supple first taste, then development to a powerfulness that releases a beautiful aromatic complexity, elegance. Gourmet pairings: Partagas D nr. 4. Comments: beautiful introductory Cognac.
