The complex bouquet features scents of holiday spice, vanilla bean, marzipan, candied almond, honey, old sweet oak, and dark toffee. The palate entry is fruity and spirity warm; the midpalate includes tastes of honey, orange peel, baked pear, cinnamon, vanilla, cocoa, and rancio. Finishes as elegantly and assertively as it began.

K&L Notes
Delamain Cognac: "This blend of extremely old Grande Champagne cognacs has benefited from maximum barrel ageing. It expresses all the nobility of the truly great eaux-de-vie when they reach the peak of their development. The Bouquet of this extremely old cognac is a subtle combination of finesse and elegance, lightness and intensity, excitement and tenderness. It is perfectly balanced and still crisp and fresh despite its age. On the palate it reveals the same round mellowness with an extraordinarily long finish, tinged with licorice, containing the remarkable complexity and all the subtlety of truly great cognacs." This mark has recently changed from Tres Venerable to Le Tres Venere. The quality level is the same.
