An opulent Cognac, with great aromatic power.
Notes of leather and spices brought by the oxidation of the tannins: Curry, Clove, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Coffee.
Candied fruit pastry notes.

A round, supple and delicate eau de vie, with a very good integration of aromas, we perceive in the mouth caramelized notes and a delicate rancio. Endless length.
