"A magnificent spirit that, to my mind, could not be improved upon and one
that deserves to be known as the best distilled spirit in the world for 2003. Layer
upon layer of exquisite, mature and balanced aroma and taste make this an unbelievable
taste experience. My favorite quality, though, is the hint of rancio at midpalate
that teases and enchants without bowling over the taste buds. A bona fide cognac
treasure."
