Hennessy VSOP Privilege Cognac

Hennessy VSOP review: Strong bouquet of fruits, some hints of honey and more fruits on the nose. The palate and the finish is dominated by woody hints - that's the cask. The original V.S.O.P since 1817, meaning Very Superior Old Pale. Selected from 4 premier growing areas. Created in response to Prince Regent’s request (later King George IV). On the nose, the first fragrances perceived are soft spices such as vanilla, clove and cinnamon. Then delicate toasted notes follow, arising from the maturation in oak barrels. On the palate, the natural balance of strength and smoothness creates a harmonious blend in which maturity combines with vigor. The structure is softened by a suggestion of fresh grape character. The highlight of tasting Hennessy VSOP Privilege Cognac is the long-lasting finish, revealing the natural balance of the blend: testament to a superior cognac.
