Hennessy Richard Hennessy Cognac (700ml) - Older Bottling
Note: Product comes from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured. Does not come with a box.
This is an older edition of the Cognac legend, possibly from around a decade back.
Other reviews... A blend of over 100 Cognacs, some of which date back to the early 1800s. The aroma requires time; when it does emerge, it blossoms into a multilayered bouquet laced with tea leaves, red pepper, dried fruit and old oak. Starts sweet and caramel-like at entry; sensational midpalate features rancio, raisins, vanilla extract, dried flowers and honey. Finish is semisweet. Hennessy's pinnacle achievement. 95-100 points. CLASSIC. Highest Recommendation. - wineenthusiast.com
... A rich man’s Cognac that delivers the goods. Colour: Rich and vibrant mahogany. Nose: A rich melange of vanilla, herby floral and spice notes overshadowed by red roses. Palate: Complex, rich and balanced, no one flavour stands out; it takes on a character of its own, alluring and with flavours that just go on and on; Some detect cherries whilst I revel in the baklava-like oriental, languidly sweet finish. Comment: A connoisseurs Cognac living up to its presentation. 40%Alc./Vol. - Franz Scheurer, AGT Wine Magazine, Cognac Tasting 27th May 2005.
