I received this bottle as a very generous Christmas present from my boss, thank you Frank! I really haven’t had many cognacs but this is definitely the best one so far. Oak, a hint of vanilla, rich dark lingering stewed fruit and light grape tannin dryness. Again I’m not cognac expert but to me this tastes like a more refined Remy Martin VSOP, not nearly as dark a profile as 1738. Not available in Ontario.
