MARTELL VSOP 40%

One of the most sold cognacs ever. A classic, more designed for cocktails than tasting, but hey, let’s give it a chance. 

Colour: Brown with gold lights. Irregular medium tears.

Nose: Pear syrup and apple juice. A massive sugariness. Light coffee smells. A tad of cardboard shades. Pinesap. Wood.

Mouth: Sweet texture. Pear syrup again. Sugar. Sugar. Sugar again. But hints of fruitiness and spiced notes.

Last Notes: Orange zest. Sugar. And that’s all. Maybe a little of wood dust. Oakay-ish palate.

Structure and a tad of aromas. Okay-ish and a bit more precise than the other VSOPs tasted here.

77/100
