Visual aspect: old gold, caramel colour, gleaming hue. Nose: buttery, vanilla and caramel notes, hazelnut, apples, spices. Palate: straight and pure first taste. The aromas of the nose come back, fatness in the mid-palate. Grey pepper, peony, apple, caramel, freshness of fruits. Pleasant aftertaste. Gourmet pairings: fig tart and vanilla icecream; old Cantal or Comté cheese. Comments: a beautiful brandy.
