Vieille Réserve Fine Champagne XO

Highly recommended. A great and affordable Cognac with a fantastic finish, maybe the best finish I've ever tasted in any spirit. The Cognac surprise of 2013.
86/100 - Tastewise

The nose discloses perfumes of "rancio", indicative feature of a long ageing eau-de-vie. Its smells old leather, vanilla as well as lighter perfumes of blossom (lime), vine flower and spices.

This XO Cognac offers a remarkable length on the palate, its remains a long time after the tasting offering at the same time a softening of the taste. Honey hints appear.

It is a very smooth and elegant Cognac.
