Tasting Notes
"This rich and dense cognac has a lot going on. The nose is all tropical fruits, but on the palate, citrus and stone fruit prevails. Both the pulp and peel of tangerine and grapefruit are present, with a bit of nectarine and plum mixed in. Sharp spices of clove and black pepper add to the woody elements of the mix, and bittersweet chocolate adds an earthy tone. The finish is somewhat drying, though the fresh fruit flavors manage to linger. "
