"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."
