[Though not the same bottling as reviewed by John Szabo, the style, quality and character of this VSOP Brandy will be consistent for this release.] Aged for a minimum of ten years in barrel this pours fairly deep, dark amber. The wood spices are front and centre on the nose with very ripe raisin, dried orange, clove and burnt sugar aromas. It full bodied, fairly dry, very intense hot and spicy, with a hint of wood tannin The length is excellent. Tasted January 2022 Score - 92.
