H by Hine VSOP Cognac Tasting Notes

Nose: The nose is fresh and fruity with a youthful and lively aroma.

Palate: Peaches, apricots, white grape juice and vibrant floral notes are found on both the nose and palate. Soft wood spices and just a gentle prickle of cinnamon along with a subtle nutty quality provide a modest depth to the cognac.

Finish: As it is young, the finish is short, but that is to be expected.
