1996 Giboin Fins Bois Cognac- 2015 bottling - 40%, $55
Nose: The nose is very light. Slightly floral in a perfume sort of way. I pick up some alcohol and a hint of oak with a little bit of butterscotch,
Taste: The initial entry is light. It is very easy to drink, It has a bit of acidity which with the lightness makes this kind of refreshing. There is a little green apple in here and a bit of butterscotch on the finish which lingers nicely.
Conclusion: The price for this is very fair but it suffers from the proof. I would love to try this at a higher proof as it seems a bit muted at 40%. Still, this was light and crisp with a bit of acidity that makes this a great summer Cognac if there is such thing.
