What a magnificent value this little brandy turned out to be. We've always loved Giraud, producing super high-quality small production cognac, without a lot of junk in there. The purity and complexity of this cognac vis-a-vis the is unparalleled right now. The VSOP is still on the youthful side with only hints of dried stone fruit and exotic spice. Primarily on the floral and fresh fruit, at this this should be a go-to for sipping and mixing alike.
