Martinaud XO Heritage Cognac
Exceptional 90 /100
Verified purchase
Nose: peach, orange, grape, milk chocolate, a touch of earthy notes.
Taste: Rum pot, a touch of violet, hardly any wood, slightly earthy, powerful and round.
Finish: medium long fruity, powerful
Verdict: A very good cognac. For 40% it is extraordinarily powerful and intense. You can feel its age, though wood tones are at best rudimentary. The earthy, almost somewhat dirty notes are fascinating. Great value for money

Original (German):
Nase: Pfirsich, Orange, Traube, Milchschokolade, ein Hauch erdige Noten
Geschmack: Rumtopf, ein Hauch Veilchen, kaum Holz, leicht erdig, kraftvoll und rund
Nachklang: Mittellang fruchtig, kraftvoll
Fazit: Ein sehr guter Cognac. Für 40% ist er außerordentlich kraftvoll und intensiv. Sein Alter spürt man, wobei Holztöne allenfalls in Ansätzen zu spüren sind. Faszinierend sind die erdigen, ja fast etwas dreckigen Noten. Tolles Preis- Leistungsverhältnis

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?

Вкус
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?

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?
