Growth: 100% Grande Champagne.
From the only house were the Cognacs start at XO, this blend of 20- to 25-year-old brandies is mellow and honeyed. The white flower, honey and pear fragrance leads the nose. A flurry of spice—cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger—enlivens the palate, leading to toasty brioche and vanilla, plus hints of pear and walnut. The finish is long, palate-coating and silky. Grande Champagne region. Kara Newman.

Look for a burnished gold hue and mild aroma. The palate is light and soft, with delicate hints of cedar, almond and golden raisin yielding to a briskly spiced finish accented with lemon and grapefruit peel. Kara Newman, 12/1/2020.
