The Martell XO  Extra Old Cognac is a delightful offering from Martell, the oldest of the large Cognac houses.  It's truly complex, the flavors created from the blend of the premier cru, Grande Champagne, and the smoothness of the Borderies terroir.  A real masterpiece of blending - first the aromas tease your senses, and then the palate thrills with delicious texture, richn depth, yet manages to remain elegant throughout. With its distinctive, arch-shaped bottle, Martell XO is a powerful symbol of inspiration - a testimony to Jean Martell’s visionary spirit. The excellence of this Cognac has been well noted by experts within the industry.  It's recently been awarded the Gold Medal in the XO Ultra Premium Category at the 2017 Cognac Masters.   Tasting Note Nose Ground spice (black pepper, coriander) and red berries.
