Reviseur Cognac V.S.O.P. Review
A label from Francis Abécassis (who also makes ABK6, see further down), this single estate Cognac is nuanced, though it takes a while to kick in. After that, the complexity goes on for days. Baking spices, mixed nuts, toasted oak, and even some classic new car smell. At this price, it’s a “buy” all day.
