Light floral apple and a little ethanol on the nose. Lighter golden color and a medium body that feels more coating in the mouth than the glass shows. Poached pears and old apples in the mouth. Muted, lightly sweet with some vanilla. Baking spices and waxy (slightly citrus) apple peel on a long clean finish. Lighter and simpler in flavor than the Berneroy XO--less oak "umph" behind it. Easy to drink (or mix in cocktails) brandy, no harsh ethanol flavors.
