Dates and raisins bring a darker sweetness to the aromas, threaded with cinnamon, nutmeg and gingerbread. The bouquet develops slowly, offering the richness of long maturation alongside a surprisingly fresh impression of fruit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe palate is enveloping and full, with chocolate, candied fruit and warming spice spreading across a smooth, cushioned texture. There is considerable concentration, yet the flavours remain balanced, carrying through to a lingering finish of ginger and gently drying oak spice. This is a Cognac to savour neat, already mature and ready to give pleasure. Its generous character and gift-box presentation make it a memorable choice for a significant birthday, anniversary or well-earned celebration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e An ordinary toast would hardly do the occasion justice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Dark chocolate fondant, sticky ginger cake, orange and chocolate tart, roasted figs with mascarpone, date and walnut pudding or mature blue cheese.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eXO VIP draws on Frapin’s old family reserves, bringing together estate-grown eaux-de-vie matured for decades in humid cellars.
