Tasting notes: Pale colour, a nose dominated by fruits, wood. A lot of flower. On the palate it's a rather elegant VS.

Description
Leyrat VSOP Premium Cognac is a Fins Bois cognac, with a delightful, old gold color. On the nose the aromas initially display dried hay and touches of spice, developing into a more pronounced oakiness with traces of pears and pepper. On the palate it's smooth and rich, leaving an aftertaste of oak, violets and flowers. Enjoy neat or on the rocks, as you prefer.

Tasting review:
Eye: Warm, deep, old gold color
Nose: Remarkable floral freshness with leafy undertones, yielding to fine spices - notable cinnamon & pronounced aromas of stewed fruit & quince.
Palate: Exceptionally smooth, packed with peach and apricot, and a hint of resin and...
Tasting review from Domain Francis Abecassis:
Aromas of spices and sandalwood developing from long aging in oak barrels.
Palate reveas notes of cigar box and a lingering honey finish.
Tasting notes: The nose epitomises cognac that has been aged for a prolonged period with a plethora of spicey and cigar-box aromas. With time, oakier notes appear and a damp leafy humus with a hint of forest mushroom
Other VSOP Cognac bottles
Review Braasted Organic VSOP: Copper toned eye, flowers on the nose. A balanced VSOP, rather round, still a bit fruity, and sweet aromas.
Otards VSOP combines a strong nose with floar notes, and green fruit with a rougher, earthy tobacco note in the mouth. Slight hint of spices and vanilla, a great product with a solid finish. Clearly some tobacco hints.
Tasting review by Raymond Ragnaud:
On the eye, intense bright gold, reflection bronze. On the nose, yellow fruits and flowers, yellow peaches, melon and tobacco. On the palate, vegetable grape skin notes, clove, final on spices and a slight musky notes with a subtle exceptional soft vanilla.
Eye: A golden hue.
Nose: The most evocative Yuletide aromas; think candied fruits such as dried orange, cinnamon, clove, coffee, star anise, cardamom.
Palate: The beauty of this Cognac is that it depends on how long you decide to let it mature...
