The Hors d'Age Cognac - Aromatherapy Session
Superlative 98 /100
Geverifieerde aankoop
At the opening - the initial aroma of sweet sour-cream honey light port wine with hints of flowers, like rose petals. Hints of pastry or freshly-baked crepes.
No ethanol spirit smell.
Alcohol is integrated into the cognac aroma.
In The Glass:
First 5-7 minutes scent of sour-cream honey, young port rancio and flowers.
Next 10-15 minutes scent of wild rose bush in blossom is opening with mix of ginger, fruits and flowers on the back.
Cognac rancio is presented all the way.
First sip - the blast of tropical fruits - mango & kiwi-papaya with wild rose petals. The strong aroma almost like perfume of cognac rancio is filling the mouth.
Next Sips, Roll Over and Swallow - unspeakable softness no taste of ethanol. Like perfume in smell, but like elixir in drinking. Full aroma is accompanying every single breath and sip. You fill your mouth is filled with tropical fruits - mango, papaya, kiwi, guava, passionfruit and they are all in one, it's all mixed with oily notes of hazelnut & walnut, and topped with wild rose petals smell with hints of eucalyptus.
Palate is very very aromatic in every step, full-bodied, light, mellow, relaxing with aromas like after aromatherapy.
Aftertaste is long 10-15 minutes with unforgettable aroma of tropical fruit wild rose petals young port rancio.
This Hors d'Age Cognac drinking experience is like taking Aromatherapy Session with tropical fruits, wild rose petals, eucalyptus, hazelnut & walnut oils. The experience that no one shall miss.

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?

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?

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?

Algehele indruk
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?
