Bottled between 15 and 20 years old. Finer and more mature than the VSOP, the XO has a refined nose full of the Folle Blanche typicity, with hints of vanilla, cinnamon, dried orange peel and just a touch of tobacco leaf. The flavour is very fine, rich plum fruit with elements of vanilla, coffee and dried figs combining to produce a good long finish with just a touch of spirit lightening the end.
