A rich, Brandy that is almost a Cognac by Master Blender Richard Braastad crafted with Cabernet Franc grapes blended with well-aged Cognac that is aged for an additional 18 months in oak barrels before being bottled at 17% ABV. It has an aromatic birth with notes of dried fruits, wood, flowers, nuts, herbs & spices; while a rich life adds notes of citrus & raisin; that led to a balanced death of medium length with notes of toasted oak, honey & dark chocolate.
