Tasting review by Raymond Ragnaud:
On the eye: liquid gold to reflect bronze.
On the nose: nose tender, contemplative, quiet, dried fruit, cinnamon, floral air.
On the palate: fine and spicy, lots of fruit and especially grapes.
It summarizes the main characteristics of the spirits of Grande Champagne.
Description
The Raymond Ragnaud XO Vieille Réserve Cognac is a delightful old quality offering from this traditional cognac house. Created solely from eaux-de-vie grown in the premier cru of the region, Grande Champagne, it's everything you'd expect a great cognac of this quality to be.
Dark in color, reflecting its age, the cognac delights with tantalizing aromas, ever-changing taste and a very satisfactory and long aftertaste. Presented in a traditional style bottle, this XO offers exceptional value for money. A great cognac to enjoy after a satsifying meal with good friends or family.
