Nose: Oh wow, this is sooo refined and complex and playful. Light as a feather. Various dried fruits as well as hints of citrus, mix with caramel, grapes, vanilla and a hint of oak.

Taste: Very rich. It dances on the tongue. Piruettes of red berries, caramel and vanilla ice cream, white pepper, cinnamon and hints of oakiness.

Finish: Very long finish. Continues much as it started, but it appears drier with time, and a bit more oaky.

Comment: Steady as a rock, solid as .. well .. a rock. Easy drinking .. so in that respect, not at all like a rock. Anyways, it is a damn fine cognac.

Score 93/100
