COGNAC PARK XO 40%
Park and Recreation
20-25yo. Blend of different crus. Promising pedigree, but is it enough for recreation time?
Colour: Amber, gold lights. Irregular heavy tears.
Nose: Fruits and citrus at first. Various spicy notes in the background. Grapefruit juice. Orange zest marmalade. A tad of coffee beans and dry nuts scents. Toasted notes with more air. Maybe the one that seems the oldest with the nose.
Palate: Sweet texture with a tad of acidity. Citrus juice, candied orange aromas. Correct mouth length on sugary notes. Wood shades in the aftertaste on linseed oil and brand new wood. Tiny rancio notes on leather and cocoa powder.
Last Notes: Oak scents with more air. A tad of spiciness and sugariness, mainly on bourbon vanilla. Humid wood in the background. Back on the palate, you find a nice mix of toffee, caramel sweets and tinned citruses. A tad of tinned plums too. It ends with cinnamon and cardamom.
Interesting XO, but I was expecting a bit more of complexity and depth regarding the pedigree.
My very subjective note: 82/100
