From a 'bouilleur de cru', so probably an individual. It's true that in France, we need to produce a large part of what we consume, coz we wouldn't want to run dry (even if we're already #1 export market in volume for Scotch – but we drink a lot of the nasty stuff). Colour: full amber. Nose: and what an individual. This is peach-led, which is the #1 kind of arrival with anything cognac or even wine brandy, then we have ripe apricots, mirabelles and quinces. A few amaretti and macaroons. Mouth: some tannicity sure feels, peach skin, cedarwood, pear peeling, heavier Darjeeling.. but balance was preserved. It's in the background that tea and oak tannins seem to be having a blast, but they'll never actually get through. Finish: rather long, rather fresh, rather peachy. More mint and black tea in the aftertaste. Comments: 1968, that was In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, right? In any case, I 'd believe bottling old cognacs or armagnacs really means knowing how to play with the limits. Sexiest work there is, no?
SGP:651 - 90 points.

Nose: again a very fruity profile, albeit with a fresher (pepper)minty side and slightly less warmth. That said, similar apricots and bananas and candied oranges. Then hints of cinnamon pastry and honey. Also polished wood and a little tobacco. Highly elegant.
Mouth: starts on pineapple and maracuya, fresh oranges, pink grapefruit and juicy peaches. Again this plays the card of utter freshness, while the previous one was warmer and slightly more honeyed. Cinnamon, mint, tobacco leaves and a darker fruits (maybe cherries on syrup) towards the end.
Finish: very long and nicely warming, on fruit tea, herbal honey and gentle oak.
this one aims for a perfeft balance. Tropical fruits, polished oak, leaving some space for darker notes too.
Score: 91/100
