De fles Comandon is gelukkig na veel gedoe met de DHL terecht, helaas is de mooie rode doos waarin hij verpakt zat kapot, een spiegel aan de achterkant van de doos is namelijk gebroken. Schok me echt wezenloos toen ik dat gerammel van scherven hoorde bij het openmaken....
Met het openen van de fles wacht ik nog even een paar daagjes.
De karaf is trouwens echt schitterend!

GlobalWineSpirits:
(1) NOSE: Almond, chocolate, leather, wild flowers and mature fruits (2) VISUAL: Rich dark antique gold color with red glints (3) PALATE: Candied fruit, almond, mocha, and buttery leather (4) SPECIALTIES: subtle and delicate: straight or in cocktails (5) COMANDON Cognac “Extra Old” (XO) is a harmonious blend of eighty eaux-de-vie from the four best terroirs of the Cognac region selected for character and softness. It is aged for between 20 and 30 years in red Limousin oak casks that enhance our cognac with subtle aromas. The result of this superior blend is a limited production authentic cognac XO. (6) This is a prime example of an 'extra-old' cognac. This XO cognac delivers a reference of what makes a sensual and exact great tasting mature XO. The focus is not on building a ‘pedigree’ but to produce immediate and accessible pleasure for all. (7) The first wave of aromas and flavors offers a dense fruity overtone of orange and passion fruit. Its subtle almond bouquet also has floral overtones of wild roses and violets. Then, it evolves into more concentrated notes of chocolate and coffee, melting into a mocha theme. It has a very deep mahogany color accented by brilliant glints of red flames. The Comandon Cognac XO is rich and concentrated, with superb balance dominated by buttery vanilla and chocolate with hints of sweet leather notes. A powerful cognac with a long structure of oak, fruits and spices that makes for a full bodied but refined cognac, with excellent lingering qualities in the mouth for over 20 minutes.
