Bertrand XO

At a family gathering, after dinner, I drank this bottle of cognac. The aroma of flowers and fruits wrapped around the whole house, and the fragrance of wood and cocoa surrounded the glass, which was a good prelude. After drinking a sip of cognac, the aromas of candied fruit, cocoa coffee, and...

This a awesome cognac incredible rich.. flavor bomb! Delivers stewed fruits, peaches, plums, raisins, sultanas, orange rind, rich vanilla cream, chocolate, roasted hazelnuts and cashews, cacao, dark oak, sweet grapes, toffee, cedar and a few spices!

Very delicate and smooth. All the aromas and flavors are apparent. One of my favorites. Nose: 5 Palate: 5 Value for money: 4 Aftertaste: 5
