Critic Notes
Although French law does not permit a vintage date to be used, this is all from 1929, and is very limited in availability. I'm not an expert on Cognac, but anything this smooth, silky, potent and aromatic, is truly great stuff. It is about as ethereal a Cognac as anyone could ever hope to drink.

Score: 100-/100 Robert Parker (Hedonist's Gazette)
The nut-paste, oaky scents take on a citrusy tone as the smell turns fruitier the more it aerates; lovely and compelling. The palate entry is supple, fruity sweet, and ripe; the midpalate stage highlights melded flavors of light caramel, marzipan, and nougat. Ends up oaky- sweet, lightly spiced and satiny.
