Prunier Borderies 1975 43,8%​

So let’s start like we end the first part, with something from Prunier. A vintage cognac bottled at 43,9%. 

Colour: Orange, old gold lights. Irregular heavy tears.

Nose: Wet mop. Rotten fruits. Overcooked meat. This one seems to have a default. 

From there, another bottle from the same reference is served (with 4 years of opening).

Far better. Toffee, caramel sweets. Not that complex but very rich. Powerful toasted notes. 

Mouth: Juicy and acidulous. Great fruity notes. Far brighter than I expected with the nose. Again, not the most complex ever but a rich and pleasant profile. 

Last Notes: More spiced and a bit oaky with air. 

A very relevant Borderies, maybe his single shortcoming is to be in this out-of-reality line-up.
