Its aromatic structure, with its masculine quality, first reveals strong peppery notes, that are then followed by the gentle spicy warmth of cloves and old leather. Then come long voluptuous notes of vanilla and cinnamon, accompanied by hints of crystalized fruit, that spread as its strength fades on the palate. The hedonist character of this cognac can be expressed dry, on the rocks or as a long drink with a dash of water, that discloses its many facettes as it is tasted.
