94pts Wine Enthusiast
With a deep amber hue and mellow vanilla aroma, this lush Cognac opens with cocoa powder, vanilla and dried cherry and fig. Hints of violet and clove dry to a walnut finish.
Nose: Exceptionally smooth with a powerful yet understated aroma. An explosion of fragrances to delight the nose.
Taste: Opulent by taste, XO reveals its aromas progressively throughout the tasting. Starting with plum, mature fig and candied orange, progressing to spicy notes with a hint of cinnamon and freshly crushed hazelnuts, and finishing with gourmet notes of roasted cocoa beans, honey, and ginger.
