Tasting review
Tasting review:
Eye: Mahogony with flashes of gold
Nose: Complex - notes of spring and summer flowers, honey, and vine canes
Palate: Well-rounded, ever-evolvoing. Hints of spices, white flowers, summer berries, and citrus fruit. Long, well-balanced finish.
Description
Part of AE Dor's 'Tradition' range, the AE Dor Vieille Fine Champagne XO Cognac is light, delicate, and elegant. Created from a blend of Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne eaux-de-vie, this is a Cognac whose taste experience belies its price tag - in other words, it almost seems too good to be true!
A true favorite the world over with those who know their Cognacs, this offers the taster a complex, yet superbly balanced Cognac experience. Mature, well-rounded, with a bouquet and flavors that evolve delightfully during the taste experience, this is ther perfect Cognac to enjoy in the traditional manner - from a tulip or balloon glass, gently warmed in the hand and sipped as a digestif after a fine meal.
Or, drink it your way... That's the great thing about such a Cognac - the taste experience is uniquely yours. It really is one to savor.

Great nose, great finish (a bit short though). The palate is also really balanced and rather mild. I'd say this is a great bottle (also from a design perspective) with a very solid Fine Champagne blend. Well done A.E. Dor

The Antique XO is a very special and rather old cognac, that reveals some great notes of sweet vanilla, green fruits, slight spices on the tongue. The palate includes again spices and quite some earthy tones.
Antique XO received the 2013 Gold Award at International Wine & Spirit...
The length on the palate is very beautiful with a slightly spicy finish. Elegant, both original and of great finesse, you will be impressed by its complexity.
Paul Giraud Vieille Reserve is a very round Cognac, mellow. The rancio is typical for a cognac that has been ageing for arond 25 years in average. Lots of fruits, and a great, long after taste.
