Lheraud Petite Champagne 1972 Cask Sample #9

Nose: Tangerine, crisp yellow peaches, fresh cantaloupe, jasmine, on an empty glass something earthier emerges, cooked butternut squash and old spice cologne

Palate: Wow on the palate – a tropical fruit explosion with a strong underlayer of old spice. Seriously wow. Yellow peach compote drizzled over vanilla icecream, cloves and nutmeg, cardamom

Rating: 7 / 10 – this is exceptionally potent. A bit rougher than some Lheraud, but with a burst of energy that I find captivating. This is an old armagnac drinkers cognac. Higher ABV?
