Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac

Dark amber in color. An ebullient nose of toffee, candied pecans, orange peel, honey, and cloves. Opens on time (not subdued). The aromas carry through onto the palate, along with nuts and bread pudding, then tailing into some slightly unbalanced heat--very slightly astringent. Medium finish of 30 seconds or so. Tasted 4/11/2007.
