Malternative Belgium Lot 19.14 42,1%

First one from Pieter’s selection, but not the last as you can presume. And third 1914 by the way. 

Colour: Dark amber, old gold lights. Irregular medium tears. 

Nose: Rounder than the previous 1914 cognacs we had (that sounds mad, isn’t it?). Licorice, marzipan, dry profile but too sharp. Very elegant nose, with a lot of various shades at the same time. 

Mouth: Coffee beans, heavy roasted notes counterbalanced by balsamic rancioted shades. Precious wood. Waxy and herbal palate. Perfect Borderies bouquet.

Last Notes: Goat cheese rancio with herbal freshness again. Never-ending mouth length. Perfect patine with hints of delicious waxy aromas. A tad of Sauternes shades that could wake me up at any time.

That’s a sublime cognac with a great evolution. Precision, finesse, and this extra touch that keeps my cognac passion alive.
