By midpalate, the flavors are soaring as streamlined tastes of marmalade, spice cake, old oak, rancio and spirit. The finish, where the age shows the most, is medium-long, moderately sweet and fruity. An exquisite, aristocratic Cognac that comes through in flying colors on all sensory accounts. The clear yellow-gold color appears exceptionally pure. First nosing offers several layers of aromas, from pears to soft old oak to beeswax.
Palate entry is sleek and mildly sweet in a fruity way more than in a woody manner.
The midpalate stage hums along with harmonious tastes of ripe red fruit, buttery oak and firm spirit. The aftertaste is long, svelte and more fruity than oaky. The complex, mildly chalky character of the Petite Champagne district is crystallized in this swank beauty. Best Buy . Clear as rainwater.
