Tesseron Lot N°53 XO Perfection

First time trying this in California. Decided to purchase a couple bottles for me in Florida. It’s that good.

This is a legendary cognac from Tesseron. For many this is an even better buy than the older Lot 29. It is around 50 years old and contains cognac made from both ugni blanc and colombard. This cognac is at first a bit reserved on the nose. but it opens op after some time in the glass. Then it has...

Gorgeous amber with copper highlights. Tobacco, toasted wood, adding red fruit notes. Lively, succulent, some spice, some fire, some sweetness, some oak. Long mellow finish, sophisticated.

BOUQUET: Dark Cherry, Oak TASTE: Spice, Oak, Mild Rancio, Mildly Sweet FINISH: Lingering Citrus, Spice, Salivary

Complex, opulent nose on dried fruits, tobacco and fine oak. Great on the palate - in a H2H tasting with Lot N°29 more opulent, more oily in your mouth, more vibrant with dried fruits, spices and chocolate. The finish is medium to long (longer than Lot N°29) with great finesse on dried fruits,...

I’m a big fan of this. While it doesn’t display the spicy backbone of the Lot 90, there’s an elegance and depth to it. Fruit dominates, with tobacco and mushrooms in the background. Perhaps lacking a little liveliness but very enjoyable.

Tesseron Perfection is….well Perfection! Sumptuous just in its appearance once it approaches the nose you can instantly detect a subdued wood and figs with a touch of tobacco. On the palette it’s silky and smooth with spices, fig again and tobacco. I love this cognac!

For me, this is my ultimate cognac, very impressed with the smoothness. highly recommended.

I tried the tasting box with the 4 tesserons ( 90 / 76 / 53 / 29 ) and then had to buy a whole bottle. In comparison to the other 3 Tesserons, this one is really special and a kind different. Somehow it makes me think of sparkles, lightness, body. Long aftertaste. The 29 is smoother, but you...
