D’Usse V.S.O.P Cognac -75cl

Color: Bright copper, with a golden-orange hue. Most cognacs employ caramel coloring; if that’s the case here, it’s used quite tastefully.

Nose: Dried fruit, especially fig, is the star of the show, with caramel, honey, and just a hint of wood polish among the secondary aromas.

Palate: Mellow dried fig and date notes, followed by a very rounded sweetness, somewhat reminiscent of a port. Dries out somewhat towards the finish, with a woody spice making its presence felt. Quite velvety on the tongue; this is a cognac that caresses the taste buds. 

Finish: A gentle alcoholic kick on the swallow, with a pleasant medium-long afterglow of dried fruit and oak
