Quality Decent Napoleon for a Cigar or Straight Connoisseur Enjoyers

Recommended 80 /100

A very quality product as applied for all cognacs made by Chateau de Montifaud. I am a cognac enjoyer with 33 years of experience. What I can say about this beautiful Napoleon Cigar blend - Very full-bodied product a real rival to well-known Napoleon by Courvosier. Although it's 46% strong, it doesn't have a smell of an alcohol, due to a proper blend mastership of Chateau de Montifaud makers.
After opening the bottle and pouring the cognac into a specially designated glass, I let it sit for around 10-15 minutes. In addition, to its own cognac smell (grape grown under the sun), it started to open its bouquet.
At first it smells a little sweet, a caramel without excesses, next was a fresh apple, and at last was a hay or I say a freshly cut grass on a backscene of the smell.
The taste has no sign of spirit or alcohol. I would say the lack of the spirit or alcohol taste is a sign of the quality cognac.
When you roll over this cognac across your mouth, you can feel the full-bodyment of its taste. The sweetness combined along together with freshness of the red crispy apples.
The aftertaste is a slight ginger with a hay notes or freshly cut grass on the backthroat. Long-lasting aftertaste stays with you for next 10-15 minutes.
