Germain Robin XO Barrel Select Alambic Brandy

About 17yrs old and Pinot Noir base, this is rich and delicious with a viscous feel. Tasted bettter than some cognacs from France, with Toffee, nougat, red berries, and spice. The finish brings rancio,and a nutty flavor you find in some fortified wines or signature cognacs. D&M Tasting Notes

This bold, complex brandy resounds with chocolate, dried cherry and spice on nose and palate. Each sip opens with delicate ginger, pink peppercorn and cinnamon, underscored by drying leather, walnut and unsweetened chocolate. Apricot leather lends a mouthwatering quality to the finish. 94 PointsWine Enthusiast, May 2021
