Tasting review
The colour is mahogany and rosewood. The nose offers aromas of of vanilla, dried fruit - and there's some woodiness in there too. The XO Pinar Del Rio should be consumed neat, while enjoying a good Havana cigar.

Value for money:
not the greatest nose, but one of the best palates!
Probably the best cigar blend out there, I have a Rum I usually drink with my cigar - but this one is just right for any cigar aficionado. Well done with that palate! Just a great taste in the mouth
About Gautier Cognac
Gautier Cognac is amongst the oldest cognac houses, with a very unique location. Gautier is based in Aigre on the Osme river, and ages in an 18th century water mill. Aigre is also referred to as the "Little Venice" of Charente. The proximity to the water and the resulting humidity and temperature in the cellars gives the cognac a recognizable taste. This cognac house unites ancient history with a modern view on the cognac market. It caters both professional cognac connoisseurs and aficionados as well as younger consumers that like to experiment with cognac and try out new and trendy cocktails.

Tasting review from Gautier:
Nose: I ntense, developed aromas, reminiscent of fruits, walnuts and vanilla with great depth.
Palate : The very round, soft taste has a velvety depth of body and unsurpassed length.
Mahogany in colour, with a nose of sweet roses combining with rich and complex aromas - we detected some wonderful fruits and spices. An intense note of rancio.

Q&A
This coganc is supposed to go well with cigars.. is it that why it's so sweet? It tates like soap, I almost had to (sorry guys at Gautier) vomit. I am not drinking this one again, and the price of almost 90 € is not justified. I think Gautier used to make better blends back in the days..
This cognac is great and a favorite with connoisseur of fine cedars, brandy and French cognacs. I love the mild tast and flavor with a Havana cigar and good friends. I would love sitting in the pretty French countryside enjoying you fine cognacs. Great, well done, very good.Thank you for your wonderful cognacs and brandy.Dr Darryl H
