Review #60 - Brandy / Cognac #8
Aspect - Amber-gold, oily in glass, long legs.
Nose - Alcohol, sweet, honey, woody, oak spice, toasty, nutty, grape, red apple, apricots.
Palate - oily front end, honey, sweet, alcohol, very sharp spicy mid-palate, which carries towards the end palate (probably really quite young).
Finish - medium, spice slowly fades away, leaving behind a dry, oaky aftertaste with dark chocolate, red grapes, plum and some raisins, perhaps with a hint of dates...and walnuts. Really enjoyable finish and after-taste. I can see why @Adriano_ (my dad) liked it so much!
It is surprisingly drinkable and even enjoyable for the price (less than 20 eur / L). The after-taste heavily reminds me of a Remy Martin VSOP...really good! yet the palate is a let-down unfortunately...but again, not much to ask for at this price range. Young, more oak and less fruit than a VS cognac, and definitely much cheaper.
