Tesseron Lot N°76 XO Tradition konyak

Lovely from the first sniff. Deep, dense, zesty orange notes with violets, leather and a faint whiff of Saphir shoe polish. Maybe a trace of tobacco too. It doesn’t disappoint when it arrives in your mouth. Lots of delicate, but well structured honey sweetness. The oak is present but well controlled. The...

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,...

What a beautiful aromas! A little swirl and let alcohol release for about 5-10 mins... After that it's a beautiful in glass! Soft and mellow, with good body and no lack of structure at all, with notes of honey, leather, floral, oak, wood, a little cassis and above of all.. dark chocolate! In...

Nose:buttery, marzipan, banana, slight fruit. Palate:Sweet cinnamon, apple, flowers, banana butter, leather, woody Finish:Pleasantly dry, woody, raisins, plum excellent profile of flavours and very well balanced. With a great price tag too for the quality.

Lovely fresh fruit on the nose initially, with perhaps a blend of orange and mango? As it begins to open, subtle honey appears, especially at the rim. A most inviting nose!! After a few more minutes, some nice floral notes appear as well! It is medium-bodied in the mouth, and the palate starts...

BOUQUET: Rancio, Sweet, Menthol, Milk Chocolate TASTE: Rancio, Sweet, Spice FINISH: Lingering Rancio, Lingering Semi Sweet, Mild Citrus, Dry

This is a Grande Champagne about one generation old (25 years), and it is the middle of their range. This cognac has a dark golden color and is elegant on the nose. I find fruity notes and some darker tones of wood and leather in the back. It smells like a cognac that is about to become an adult....

Dark, woody, spicy notes. Candied oranges, orange peels, spice, pastry notes, vanilla, more oily than Lot N°90, tasted H2H. Finish is of medium length, nutty, spicy, wood.

Burnished copper in the glass, more red than gold, jewel-like. First nose is rich, sweet mix of fruit and floral, complex and luxurious. Spicier than the nose suggests, mouth-filling taste becoming sweeter in the finish, a hint of floral, but mostly fruit, peach, apricot, flavors for every part...

Fantastic on the nose.
