Remy Martin Louis XIII Magnum (1.5 Litre Crystal Decanter)

A legendary Cognac from the prestigious house of Remy Martin, containing Grande Champagne eau-de-vie aged between 40 and 100 years and packaged in a gorgeous Baccarat decanter.

Nose: Very floral, with honeysuckle, and sweet, with delicately perfumed fruit – melon and peaches. There is also a hint of flowery honey and a marzipan nuttiness.

Palate: Cinnamon, almonds, peach, orange and orange blossom, and woody spice. The brief note in my notebook says, 'like eating twigs and sweet flowers'.

Finish: Delicate grape, sweet oak spice, melon and lingering floral notes.
