Awarded 94 points out of 100 by the Beverage Tasting institute in Chicago.

They gave it the following tasting note: 'Deep amber copper color. Vibrant aromas of baked raisins, coconut custard, cocoa powder, exotic peppercorns, buttery nuts, and leather follow through to a supple, fruity full body with buttery praline, dried peach, candied ginger, coconut cream, and clover honey notes. Finishes with a long, evolving fade of honey, cocoa, fruit, and peppery spice. A remarkably fruity, flavorful and approachable Armagnac with a superb combination of power and poise.'
