Germain-Robin Brandy Craft Method
375ml Half bottle
Sku: 1795845*
| Review |
| Unbelievable quality for the price. Outscored Delamain Pale and Dry, Martell Cordon Bleu,
and four other noted cognacs in expert blind tastings (1989). Based on our first (1987) release,
Lot 27 is no longer the same animal. We have learned a lot about when to harvest, how to
vinify, how to distill, how to blend. Plus, we have an older cellar. We still like the youthful fruit
of 5-year-old brandies (apple and pear), but we also like the deeper flavors that come from
more age, trending towards plum/apricot. The blend is very rich, with 10-year-old Colombard,
some Riesling, and a touch of Zinfandel. There is also a solera enrichment: Joe Corley rolls
over earlier lots into the ongoing blends. |
