TASTING NOTE: Within the curvy, regal-looking bottle with the royal crest - more Cognac style than modest Armagnac - is a silky, vanilla--forward brandy that resonates into a powerful finish with bold notes of clove, cocoa, espresso and cigar tobacco. Savor alongside dark chocolate. Awarded one of the Top 50 Spirits of 2012. Score - 93 (Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 31, 2012) |
