A far superior offering from Remy Martin, this one is leaps and bounds better than Remy Martin VSOP. The price is a bit high though, but as a sipping cognac this one is a solid choice and readily available. The nose has vanilla and dried fruit notes. The palate is pretty sweet, with apricot and oak, but not overwhelmingly so like the VSOP. The finish does have a touch of burn, but it has solid length and pepper notes to close. Is this worth the price? I would say it depends on if you are planning to use this primarily as a cocktail ingredient. If so, then you may want to try cheaper options like Hine H VSOP and the Pierre Ferrand lines, but if you want something for everyday drinking, this would be a solid option.
