Cognac Nature Lehman 41%

M. Lehmann is a former U.S. merchant and you can still find some bottles available at auction. This one is supposed to be a 1940’s bottling with a decent age (probably) above 50yo. 41%. 

Colour: Dark amber. Orange lights. Irregular heavy tears.

Nose: Complex leathery notes. Precious wood. Massive rancio. Very sugary. Full of unnatural nutty notes. Hints of earl grey tea shades, but heavy sugar notes.

Mouth: Roasted notes, coffee beans. Liquid very old cask aromas. Wormwood. Heavy ristretto notes. Pleasant palate but too sweet for me. 

Last Notes: Flat aftertaste and very sugary again. Shy leathery notes. 

Interesting cognac but it seems that it has been make-up. Well, that’s also the kind of style you can find with oldies.
