The nose is fine, fruity, elegant, slightly concentrated and slightly powerful.

The palate is fruity, round, unctuous, aerial and offers a nice definition, tension, a beautiful elegance, volume as well as a very beautiful balance. In the mouth this Cognac expresses notes of jam, jammy white fruits and small notes of candied orange zests associated with a subtle hint of crystallized lemon, sweet spices, quenette, an imperceptible hint of chocolate as well as a subtle hint of cedar wood, cardamom and vanilla/pâtisseries on the finish. Good length.
