Hints of toasted oak, vanilla bean, and molasses emerge, beautifully complemented by the subtle and luxurious wafts of sweet grape, leather, and a whisper of almond from the Cognac cask influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The entry is full-bodied and velvety, coating the palate with a complex array of flavors.
