It is sharp, young and with quite a bit of short fire. It is not overly sugary like some cheaper cognacs and it does have a great flavours and promise ,but it is way too young. I would recommend trying something older from their line, however these cognacs are not sold in stores even in France. You can order from their webpage directly or they are present in Duty Free Shops at the De Gaulle airport.
