The nose is powerful, fruity, elegant and offers complexity as well as a fine incisive side. It reveals notes of dry grapefruit zests, candied apple, small notes of dry orange associated with small touches of lychee in syrup, dry lemon, orange flowers as well as hints of small caramelized fruits, dry yellow grape, cedrat, rancio, caramel, grilled cocoa, fine hints of pepper and dry oak. The palate is fruity, beautifully balance, well-built, elegant and offers a fine freshness, finesse, a fine acidulous frame as well as a very beautiful suavity, gourmandize, a fine concentration, a fine grain and a fine richness (in power). On the palate this Cognac expresses notes of clementine jam, crystallized lemon, small notes of peach in syrup associated with a subtle hint of dry apricot, small dry yellow grape, rancio/cedar as well as hints of pâtisserie, dry almond and a very discreet hint of dry tobacco/cigar. Good length and beautiful persistence.
