Amber-topaz color. Bouquet rushes up in zesty, compelling waves of spice (nutmeg, coriander) and black raisins; more exposure to air stimulates deeper, more profound scents of marzipan, nougat, dark honey and oak resin. Palate entry is so dry as to be austere; midpalate displays more fleshiness but it's the dominating presence of oaky resin that lasts on and singes the tongue. Aftertaste is long, mineral dry, resiny and not the least bit generous. Atypical Grande Champagne Cognac, which usually is rich and concentrated. Austere. P.P.

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
