Merlet

Now this Cognac is exhibiting youth, but also lots of fruit. Fresh apple notes and golden raisins form the core, with a mild vanilla/creme brulee character atop that, with a touch of incense and cinnamon on the kicker. It’s very lively, and the funky earthiness has blown off now, leaving behind a light body with lots of easy-drinking freshness. Can’t complain at this price.
