Tasting Notes

"A honeyed, floral bouquet leads on the nose, backed by chocolate covered raisins. The palate is soft, with honey and violets, cocoa, berries, and pears, and only a touch of toasty oak and spice coming through towards the back. The finish is light and short, serving its purpose as an approachable introductory cognac. "
