Chateau de Beaulon XO Vintage 1980 Cognac

This Chateau de Beaulon XO Vintage Millésime from 1975, is an extra old cognac distilled in the year 1975 - a great vintage of Beaulon.  Created solely from cognacs grown in the Fins Bois terroir, this is a cognac that is truly one for the connoisseur

On the eye: Beautiful amber robe, copper tones. 

On the nose: Floral, followed immediately by a full wealth of aromas, rich aromas of walnut, caramel, white peach, port, and subtle rancio seconded by mild spices (cinnamon), the impression on the nose is soft and powdery. After twenty minutes very elegant woody notes develop (cedar), leather (suede), then heavier notes of wax, butter, amber and candied orange.

On the palate:  Lively, supple attack then a return of flowers, notes that are very present in the mouth.  Initial notes light and agreeable, woody, woodland flowers. A very light acidity gives it vivacity. The finish is of spicy, woody, dried apricots.
