Tasting Notes and Technical Description:

Visual Appearance:
Upon pouring, one immediately observes the luminous, deep amber hue of the liquid—imbued with a rich darkness that hints at its extensive maturation in French oak barrels.

Nose (Aroma):
The aromatic profile is an opulent tapestry of olfactory splendor. The top notes are suffused with complex aromas of dried fruits, primarily figs and raisins, underlined by a bouquet of floral fragrances like jasmine. Layered beneath these is a warm, nutty quality redolent of hazelnuts and almonds.

Palate (Taste):
Your first sip introduces a veritable symphony of flavors. There is an initial elegance and silkiness, accompanied by the layered complexity that only a well-aged cognac can provide. Dried fruit and floral notes persist from the nose to palate but are deepened by flavors of aged leather, sweet spices, and the whisper of dark chocolate.

Finish:
Long and lingering, the finish is a crescendo of the flavors experienced on the palate. One can discern elements of oak, toffee, and a mild tobacco that bring the sipping experience to a sophisticated, balanced close.

Mouthfeel:
The cognac exhibits a harmoniously full-bodied yet remarkably smooth texture. It coats the palate in a luxurious, almost creamy, manner—no doubt a testament to its superior quality and aging process.

Available at Third Base Market & Spirits, this bottling is a tribute to the art of fine cognac production and is ideally suited for those with a palate for the exceptional.
