Attractive, Orange/bronze/honey color. The opening bouquet is very tart and reminiscent of tangerines- further nosings unearth the XO Cognac, but only as a distant scent- in the final pass, the Cognac element becomes more pronounced as it adds body and foundation to the citrusy tartness. On palate, there’s no mistaking the orange presence- the midpalate is tingly, sweet tart, of medium viscosity and simply luscious. There’s an echo of steeliness in the finish, but nothing that I find seriously disagreeable. Suitable on the rocks or neat and chilled. Try it with dark chocolate.
