Holding the glass at arm’s length, admire the cognac’s rich gold tones and glints of flaming red, then bring the glass towards your nose to experience the initial light, floral bouquet. Bring it closer and breath in the intense, opulent aromas of rich spice, then place a single drop on your lips in order to prepare the palate. Allow yourself to take a small sip before circulating the rich liquid around your mouth to enjoy the individual floral, fruity and spicy notes. Continue to take in the precious liquid, drop by drop, picking up intense notes of myrrh, honey, dried roses, plum, figs, leather and more.
