Tasting Notes
Colour
mahogany/bronze
air Nose
this is different, we’re going more towards very old brandy de Jerez, or even very old oloroso. Indeed I’m rather finding black earth, old walnuts, pipe tobacco, crème de menthe, and then more and more roasted nuts, between pecans and almonds. Perhaps even preserved morello cherries. What’s sure is that this lovely nose is very intriguing!
restaurant Palate
what a brute! Quite… It’s rough and rustic, in a more than beautiful way, with more morello cherries, prunes, liquorice liqueurs, pipe tobacco, a little car, some triple-sec, and always those walnuts that give it a fino-ish character. Definitely quite Jerezian, this old Cognac!
timer Finish
long, absolutely wonderful, and akin to the finish of one of Samaroli’s very sherried old Seysiders (Glen Grant, Glenlivet) if that rings a bell… Splendid old Cognac
