IWSC 2020 - The Cognac Trophy & Gold Outstanding Award
"Exceedingly complex and broad in its depth of aromas and flavours." Judges' comments
A beautifully complex, fine cognac from the southern part of Grande Champagne. An initial burst of dark chocolate on the palate is followed by a host of different flavours including pork crackle, liquorice, marzipan, turmeric and kumquat. An astonishingly good cognac.
