1983

Another, distinctive and unique Cognac, Hine 1983 offers notes of damp tobacco leaves and delicious fresh hazelnuts, alongside dominant aromas of cedar wood. Underlying hints of recently waxed leather, allow this suave vintage to stand proud as the ideal Cognac choice for the likes of James Bond. The elegance of Sean Connery, bottled.
