Claude Chatelier VSOP

85 Decent cognac, not worth the price.

Nose: stone fruit, figs and grapes. Taste: sweet grape, allspice and a hint of vanilla. Finish: sweet grape up front that transitions into spice mid palate this finishes with a bit of oak in the backend. The spice and oak linger.

Spicy and Sweet This cognac tastes like a spicy barrel, the spice is quite heavy. Other flavors get lost in the spice to me, but it is perfectly fine tasting. This mixes well because it is so strongly spicy, when I mix it I taste the fruit notes as well, but neat I only get the spice
