Tasting notes :

On the nose : The bouquet opens with very melted aromas, a unique fusion of warmth and complexity that envelops the senses. Spices and a hint of pepper provide a lively introduction, followed by a rich nutty essence. The fragrance of caramelized pear and apple adds a deep, naturally sweet character, showcasing the spirit's richness. Despite 40 years old, there's a surprising freshness that speaks to its well-preserved character. It evolves nicely in the glass, so don't rush this one.

On the palate, the experience is equally rich and multifaceted. The nutty flavor blend seamlessly with the sweet, caramelized notes of pear and apple, creating a harmonious taste. The spices and pepper reemerge, adding layers of complexity and depth. The natural sweetness underscores the richness of the spirit, while its age lends a sophistication that's rare, yet it retains a lively freshness that belies its years. One knows the Cognac has an advanced age, but it's still lively and fresh. 43 % ABV is spot on too.

The finish is medium-long, with the spices and sweet caramelized fruit lingering on the palate. There's a continuity of the nutty and naturally sweet flavors, ensuring a rich and satisfying end.

Serving suggestions : To fully experience the Grateaud Hors-d'Age, savor it in a tulip glass, allowing the Cognac ample time to unfold its complex bouquet and rich palate. As it breathes, the Cognac transitions, offering an evolving tasting experience.
