NOSE: Exotic spice. Star anise. Vanilla for days. Very deep and complex. Certainly orange marmalade. Plum pudding. Light paint or glue residue. PALATE: Stewed citrus medley. Dark and caramelized. Succulent and decadent. OVERALL: My first try was a bit much but second time I loved it. It’s sweet and approachable but very interesting. Keeps you searching for new notes. Amazing desert cognac.
