This is an excellent Cognac offering. This has those big bold fruit notes I prefer in my brandy profiles, with rich spices and savory notes that help bring it all together in what is an over the top tasting experience for me. Sipping this just oozes luxury, like sitting in a leather chair by a fire as it snows outside. The oak brings a nice compliment to the fruits without being overwhelming despite the obvious age on this bottle.
