TRAPICHE ASTICA CABERNET SAUVIGNON – 750ML

A superbly stylish cognac whose name refers to the old French saying, ‘noblesse oblige’ (nobility carries obligation). The bottle’s contemporary design carries strong cues of elegance and sophistication.Abundant fruit notes of pear and prune, exotic hints of vanilla pod and caramelised grape, and a distinctive woody character with notes of myrrh, cedar and fine-grained oak.

Created by Maurice Fillioux in 1979, the cognac Hennessy Paradis is known for its voluptuous and harmonious aroma. It consists of eaux-de-vie, which are a reflection of the personality of such a delightful cognac: supple, light and round.

They are blended into an excellent cognac defined by its graceful, silky character, highlighting its finely nuanced and harmoniously balanced aromatic qualities. Its superb display of coppery gold colours is an indication of the many years it has spent ageing in old casks.

Created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870 for his circle of friends, X.O was born at a turning point in history and introduced a new style of cognac: bold, rich and complex. The 100 eaux-de-vie assembled to create X.O were aged for a long time – some for 30 years – to give an unparalleled robustness. Maurice Hennessy gave the name X.O to this unique “extra old” cognac.

Its intense and deep amber color is a sign of its strength. Its flavors of candied fruit and its subtle and lightly spicy nose create a complete harmony: a mark of its roundness. To taste, a smooth, full sensation gives a simultaneously powerful and soft tonality with a hint of cocoa and a warm fruity presence. The long finish expresses all the complexity of the cognac’s blending and its long aging process.

p/s: The ‘Luminous’ bottle comes with a button which brings up light under the bottle and on the label.
