This is a cognac of great distinction and it requires time. It must not be hurried as the many aromas and flavours need to be discovered slowly. The initial aromas are of warm fruit cake and sultanas and they are matched on the palate. Hints of crab apple compliment these flavours and bring together the intense rancio with other flavours of orange syrup and porcini. The depth of rancio is worthy of an even older Grande Champagne cognac.
“At a tasting earlier this year I was particularly impressed by the Hermitage 45 yo … it combines mature richness with those tropical/floral notes that often emerge, unexpectedly, in dark spirits several decades old.” Alice Lascelles, Financial Times
