Germain-Robin Select Barrel XO Brandy

[LOOK] Sturdy amber, pretty lovely [NOSE] Pastry glaze, orange slices in rose water, milk tea bubble tea, oversteeped sweet tea, tarte tartin, lots of lightly caramelized fall fruit flavors, sprinkle of lemon juice [PALETTE] Starts with a pinch of bitterness, then stewed apricots & peaches, followed by yellow skittles, a pinch of vanilla, sour grape skins come and go, a very lively fruit masquerade ball, ends with a subtle and welcome stemmy tannin bitterness [FINISH] Acidic and juicy, acidity fades and fruit juice is the last thing tasted [MOUTHFEEL] Much lighter than expected after nosing, delicate, gentle, unbelievably fulfilling and fun
