Wine Enthusiast 90 points - This crowd-pleasing Cognac has honey and vanilla aromas, plus a touch of violet. The palate is smooth, with luscious undercurrents of vanilla and butterscotch giving way to bold dried apricot and an echo of baking spice on the finish. Sip or mix..Kara Newman, December/2015 Ultimate Beverage Challenge 89 points - (Great Value)- Light and slightly fruity on the nose reminiscent of white grapes.
