Comte Louis de Lauriston VSOP Calvados 700ml

A blend of Calvados aged more than five years in oak casks. Light amber colour. Rich fruity aromas of apples and pears combined with aromas due to long ageing. This V.S.O.P. is marked with gourmet hints of vanilla. Supple, long, complex mouth. To be served with a Livarot cheese or as a digestive. "The inviting amber/honey beams under the light; superb purity. Te inital passes in the nose pick up curiously fabric-like scents right out of the gate, then with aeration, the aroma settles down and offers more appropriate fragrances such a oaky vanilla, baked pear and baked apple. The palate entry is lovely, elegant, semisweet, and fruity; at midpalate, the spirit foundation emerges as the taste profile turns totally brandy-like, clean, refreshing and mildly spicy. Finishes chewy, woody and moerated oily". Paul Pacult - Spirit Journal December 2006 (USA)
