Tesseron 'Lot N°76 X.O Tradition' (40%, OB, Grande Champagne, +/-2022)
Recommended 81 /100
Possibly a 1976. Lot 90 was excellent (WF 87), Lot 53 brilliant (WF 90) and lot 29 a notch disappointing (WF 84). It's true that bottling at 40% vol. has become very 1990 indeed, let's see if this little 76 has been slaughtered or not… Colour: deep gold. Nose: I'm finding it extremely delicate, very floral, with some orange blossom water, honeysuckle, dandelions, then apricot jam, quince jelly, jasmine and some very elegant kind of mountain meadow honey, as well as preserved peaches, as (almost) usual. A splendid nose, indeed, but it does whisper a little bit, which I find a little frightening. I find some white wines bigger on the nose. Mouth: good, it's not flat, it's not even thin, but it is a little frustrating, we would have enjoyed a little more body to support this lovely maple syrup, the honeys, the flower fitters (acacia, zucchini)… What's more, it's starting to nosedive after twenty seconds, letting a little cardboard come out. And yet, these figs, this menthol, these raisins, these hints of white pepper, all that is excellent. Finish: short, sadly. Very frustrating, and it's certainly not the old Martell that's casting a shadow over this Tesseron. Peaches. Comments: we know that the French are much afraid of high alcohol content, and that the general public doesn't want it, but is this really a bottle for the general public? That said, the prices are very reasonable, so can we really complain… And the juice was first-class.
Flavour
Tasting
Nose
What aromas do you get when you sniff the Cognac? Do you get hints of fruits or flowers - perhaps it's sweet? Is it intense or rather flat - and most importantly, is the nose coherent to taste and finish? The nose is the most important part when tasting Cognac.

Mouth
A small sip: Allow your taste buds in the various areas of your mouth to distinguish the different flavours. This part of cognac tasting is described as ‘the palate’. Don’t just swallow it down; allow the liquid to touch all the regions of the mouth. Doing this is necessary as the taste buds pick up contrasting flavours in the different areas of the mouth; on the tip of your tongue to the sides, for example. Take a tiny sip to prep your palate for the sensory experience to come. Take a second larger sip, and gently roll the cognac around, etting it come into contact with every corner of your mouth. Focus on the perceived textural sensations. Are the sensations round and rich or fresh and elegant? Is the overall mouthfeel intense, balanced, disjointed, or lacking presence? In short, how does the cognac feel in your mouth?

Geschmack
Quite simply, what do you taste as you gently roll the cognac around in your mouth? Pay close attention to any flavors of fruits, flowers, oak, and spices - or a complex combination of those elements. Are the flavors cohesive with the Nose and the Mouth, giving a sense of balance and complexity?

Fertig
The ‘finish’ is the experience you get after you’ve swallowed the cognac. What flavours can you detect? Is it a flat or rough finish and rather sharp, or is it a slight 'punch' you like? How long does the finish last? Also think about overall balance: How does the finish compare to nose and taste?

Overall Impression
Consider the Nose, Mouth, Taste, and Finish simultaneously - the cognac as a whole. Is there cohesion between the four categories, or does the cognac shine in some areas and appear dull in others? Quite simply, is the memory from the tasting experience one that will last your lifetime; is the memory good but nothing extraordinary; or is the cognac’s impact entirely forgettable?
