  Early-landed in the UK in 1984, this vintage-dated Cognac from Delamain, a Cognac house closely associated with British aristocracy, remained in barrel at Howells of Bristol until bottling in 2003.
  
  Despite its age, this Cognac is fresh, floral and fruit-driven, there’s plenty of apricot and peach bursting out of the glass but given time, that brooding smokiness lurking beneath the surface starts to reveal itself. A faint lick of rancio adds to the complexity. Soft but persistent, woody caramel notes round off the finish. This is serious Cognac that needs meditating over.
