Too good to be called just XO cognac, it is given the full Extra Old title. From the first vineyard of Cognac, this eau-de-vie with a beautiful lime-tree smell, also very spicy, is very typical of the appellation. Beautifully viscous, round, and very long, this eau-de-vie aged forty years, shows all the signs of the maturity.of age, and deserves its reputation as one of the best French cognacs.
