This has that excessively fruity in-your-face blare. It's nice and smooth with caramel and a sweet viscocity. It's highly reminiscent of Remy Martin 1738. It's very sweet, fruity, and floral with enough of an earthiness to balance it. The result is a pretty balanced and highly sippable brandy, though I wish it. It is kind of like sipping cherry nectar. Is would like more wood and complexity, but this is a very nice dessert drink.
