Simply delicious! This their entry level cognac, but is aged for 10 years, not four or six. It pours a golden amber and swirls good legs. It noses of fruit, honey and a little vanilla. In the mouth the fruitiness is forward and there is a full, almost oily, mouthfeel. The finish is medium long and exceptionally smooth. I am super impressed. I find this to be MUCH more enjoyable than the entry level cognacs from the big houses of Hennessy, Martell, or Courvoisier. This is distilled on the lees and I think that explains the greater fruitiness and wonderful mouthfeel. I admit my experience with cognac is somewhat limited, having sampled only about two dozen expressions--and none of those were in the super high-end costing hundreds of dollars. But of the ones I have had in the below $100 range this is the best for drinking neat. (I never mix cognac.)
