Other reviews…Aromas are ripe and melony, then turn deep with subtle hints of walnut, butter cream, oak and marzipan – a sensational bouquet. Right from palate entry the fruit concentration is perfectly balanced by a resiny, cheesy oakiness that blossoms at midpalate along with succulent tastes of raisins, vanilla and butterscotch. Finishes stately, almost chunky. The touch of rancio in the aftertaste puts it over the top.

Description
From the oldest house in Cognac, Martell XO is often overlooked for more commercial counterparts. On the palate the Martell XO delivers a spicy, rich crescendo starting with the mellow elegance of the Borderies, followed by the intensity and finesse typical of Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie.
