“Classically good old Cognac. Rancio to the fore, with a quite wonderful palate.” Judges’ comments
This cognac is quite light in colour for one that has aged for more than 50 years. The wide range of flavours include allspice, white truffle, plum crumble and the peel of blood oranges. Exceptionally fine and well balanced, this cognac is a real joy to taste.
