An exceptional blend of 25- to 30-year-old reserve stocks of both Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne Cognacs, distilled predominantly in the mid-1970s and then matured in old casks until bottling. It has a striking copper colour. On the nose there is an intense fragrance of roasted nuts, wood spice, leatherwood honey, and baked pears, while the deep palate is viscous, dense even, with complex notes of Bosc pear, almond, Oloroso Sherry, orange peel, and, again, leatherwood honey. The finish is long and warming with hints of brown sugar, vanilla and sea salt. A stunning, mouth-filling yet savoury wine.
Full soft and mouthfilling. An ever-changing interplay between chestnut, honey, raspberry, beeswax, peaches in heavy syrup, and dried apricot. The wood is crisp, spicy and well-balanced, and the finish has a lovely touch of crystallised fruit

The age alone - not to mention the smooth, seductive texture and the extraordinarily complex flavours of butterscotch and cream that linger for ages makes the price of this magnificent cognac rather attractive.
