2002 Raymond Ragnaud Ugni Blanc Cognac (700ml)

A wavering bouquet at first, packed with dried apricots and dark chocolate, next dominated by balsa wood, white pepper and light wood spices. Riper notes are echoed in a full-bodied rush of orchard fruits (green apple / pears). Finishes with vanilla, orange zest and warming alcohol. Robust and spicy. 47% Alc./Vol. Limited outturn of 350 bottles.
