Rémy Martin VSOP Bottling Note
A very popular Fine Champagne bottled in the instantly recognisable frosted bottle. The blend contains 55% Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie, the rest being made up from the Petite Champagne.
The nose is sweet with honey and vanilla, floral notes and chewy oak, lots of blossom and some spice. The palate is spiced and rich, fruity notes of nectarine with dried apricot and plum, floral and oaked. The finish is on tart fruits and honey.
First Cognac
I hadn't drank brandy in about 14 years and this was my first cognac ever. Couldn't finish a mini bottle. It smelled nice and all but the lack of smoothness was horrible. I guess I am still too young to understand Cognac. Not much flavor and too harsh. I will sip a nice bourbon, scotch, rum, tequila or even vodka rather than this stuff. I understand that it could have been worse but yikes! I don't get the appeal.
