Hennessy Paradis Rare Cognac

Aroma:  The aroma appears complex & very rich with a palate of delicious scents.  It conceals a subtle burst of pepper: spicy notes softened by the floral aroma expressing finesse & elegance.  Several very slight hints of cardamom & cinnamon, aromas of crystallized fruit follow the fragrance of dry roses.  Other more complex fragrances such as touches of honey & truffle or wild rose preserve burst forth in subtle flashes.  A veritable fireworks display for the senses.

Taste: The spicy & crystallized fruit fragrances invade the palate in a masterly fashion.  This intensity, this strength of taste in the mouth develops slowly, & releases a bouquet of aromas whose complexity & finesse are more difficult to pin down than those sensed by aroma.  Nothing disappears, everything comes forth bit by bit, aromas take their place & organize themselves in a silky harmony with a long-lasting taste on the palate.

The Style of Paradis Extra: Paradis Extra, heady & sensual as a tuberose, crossed by spicy points or mellowed by fragrant bursts of dried flowers.  Plays its aromatic paradoxes to present itself in successive waves of pleasure
