Cognac Saint-Laurent Borderies 1865 68 Proof

And here we go with pre-phyllo. I’ve got some nice memories of pre-phyllo things, even if it’s a whole new paradigm for me. 

Colour: Dark amber, gold lights. Regular medium tears. 

Nose: Heady citruses notes. Perceptible bitterness. Excessive oakiness but you have a really delicate fruitiness behind. Tangerine marmalade. Crazy that it is alive.

Mouth: Acidulous red berries notes. Fresh and fruity. Instant smile again. Cola sweets

Last Notes:  Even more delicate with air. Incredible fruitiness fighting with warm spiced notes. Everything is delivered with finesse. 

Maybe above Camus with air. Very spectacular in the sense that it’s hard to find a pre-phy cognac that keeps this kind of structure.

Whole tasting session
