Color: brilliant amber hue, with coppery reflections. Nose: fruity, with dried fruit notes (cashew, toasted almond), coffee beans. Palate: clean attack, evolving into great power on the palate, without harshness. Long and delicate finish. Pairing: tarte Tatin, baked apples, salted caramel ice cream. Comment: a cognac with incredible aromatic richness.
