“Fresh and powerful with a wealth of flavours delivered through a very expressive and complex set of aromas on the palate.” Judges’ comments
A very, very special and extraordinary find. This 2008 Cognac is just 10 years old, single-barrel, single-estate and very expensive, but it is one in a million. Smooth and perfectly balanced, it’s rich, spicy and full of intrigue. There are less than 200 bottles available so it won’t last – it is too good to last. Don’t do anything other than just drink it, you will never find another cognac like this even at double the price.
“For anyone looking for a very fine and special gift …. The smallest glass is a sublime treat.” Victoria Moore, The Daily Telegraph
