Description
Claude Thorin Princeps Grande Champagne Cognac is a Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie, but it's not a blend - this is a single aux-de-vie that's been aged for a long time. It's very intense, yet fine and delicate with developed rancio and a dominance of crystallised and dried fruits.
Very great persistence, a drier cognac. Offers exceptional value for money for a pretty unique cognac - it definitely earns a place in any cabinet...

Tasting review by Raymond Ragnaud:
Eye: Cognac color of old gold.
Nose: Expressive, gentle, heady, noble nuances of fruits and rancio (tones of toasted bread and nuts), complemented by undertones of peach liqueur, wood, honey, nutmeg, & cinnamon.
Palate: Balanced, clean, harmonious,...
Tasting review:
Eye : Intense mahogany
Nose : Beautiful aromas of nuts, complemented by hints of spice and rancio
Palate : Powerful and round, developing spices and woody tones, leaving candied notes on the finish. These evolve towards leather, undergrowth, and tobacco
