Allow it to warm slowly in the glass, which will release waves of aroma. Then, pour around an inch of Cognac into a tulip-shaped snifter, while pausing to take in the aromas. Take small sips to appreciate the smoothness of the Cognac, and watch its layers unfold. With its lengthy finish - you’ll enjoy it long after it’s gone.

Very alluring and expressive, this presents a sensation of fruit compote layered with hints of honey and leather, all lifted by floral tones - very elegant. The palate: A generous start, this presents a wonderful, spicy vitality, complementing a harmonious, rounded style.
