The palate is also fruity and after a while I have some wood spices showing up.
FINISH:
Medium long, but quite powerful finish for a VSOP. A little bit tobacoo and woody again.

For me personal, it's one of the best VSOP's I have tasted so far. It's well balanced and I really like the spices form the wood which are present all the time.
By the way it is a perfect starter, if you are new to the Cognac world.
