COGNAC VAUDON Casks 78-80 TTG

Nose : full-bodied, pulpy. With superb presence, the initial nose is very spirited. Placed at the height of the aromatic palette, Amarena cherries, sweet spices (cinnamon, cardamom), dried fruit, candied citrus fruit (orange, mandarin) and exotic fruit (pineapple, mango) throw themselves into a symphony full of joie de vivre. Allowed to breathe, vanilla pod and root ginger bring lots of complexity and foundation. Notes of marmalade, coriander and cumin._x000D_<br>_x000D_

Palate : delicate, nuanced. On the attack, acacia honey and quince jelly spread across the tongue and walls of the palate. Then, with huge subtlety, ripe fruit (melon, greengage plum) and citrus fruit (orange) refresh the mid-palate. Gradually it becomes vanilla and then powdery (cocoa, rice). On the end of the palate, splendid bouquets of heady florals are placed on a freshly polished table._x000D_

Overall : long, fresh. The very lush (lime blossom, verbena) finish is also praline. Lavender, lilac and carnation fragrances escape from the bouquets brought by the end of the palate. The retro-nasal olfaction is spicy (star anise, curry), roasted (latte) and fruity (almond, date). The empty glass is delicately caramelised and hot (Cayenne)._x000D_
