"A bold yet harmonious blend reminiscent of robust spice and fruit flavors, punctuated by fruity notes and delicate vanilla nuances."

"Brilliant copper color. Caramel,golden raisin, light anise, and other brown spice aromas. A very supple entry leads to a plush dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full bodied palate with buttered caramel, dried apple and pear, and refined spices. Finishes with a toffeed spice fade and a slightly numbing, wave of white pepper. Very nice texture and balanced flavor with a rather hot finish."

"Rich, spicy aromas of waxy fruits, toffeed nuts, orange tea, and potpourri. A satiny, vibrant entry leads to a rich, unctuous dryish medium-full body of sweet toffee, warm raisin compote, and smoky minerality. Finishes with a supple fade of star anise, fruity caramel, toasted oak. A lush and voluptuous Cognac."

"Harmonious and well balanced, its taste is fruity, mellow and with a pleasing fresh and pure feeling in the mouth. It’s an ideal mixer for long drinks and classic cocktails."

"The youngest eau-de-vie in this legendary blend is 50 years old. 100% Grande Champagne. Amber color. Harmonious, hallmark bouquet of blue cheese-like rancio, truffles, roasted chestnuts and prunes; the aroma stays firm and concentrated through 10 minutes of nosing. Accessible, satiny smooth at palate entry, then at midpalate the flavor profile turns semisweet, profound and pruny. Finishes gracefully, almost like a ghost on the tongue. Lovely." 90-95 pts.

"Sunset-orange color. Savory bouquet is ripe and fruity through all sniffings. The stunningly elegant flavors marry ripe pear, roasted almond and apricot scents to cheese-like rancio. Finishes firmly and long. An opulent, plump style." 90-95 pts.

"Rich baked pear, orange marmalade, and spice aromas. A supple entry leads to a round, dryish medium body of dried fruits, dusty brown spices, and light toffee flavors. Finishes with pleasant anise and nuts flavors amid the wood spices and minerals. A balanced, elegant style."
