Cognac Tesseron
Lot No. 53 X.O. Cognac
Grande Fine Champagne, Charente, Cognac, France
GW tasting 12/13/16. $280. Made with all three varietals with the other two grapes aged minimal of 50 years. Beautiful nose again with a bit less complexity than top three. Spicy and savory. Palate is less complex but still just beautiful with explosion of flavors. Tasting last to first. But this really struck home when going from first to last. Says 'ranchio'. Weeds. Tobacco. And more emphasis on fruit character.
